title: Effects of 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid on EEG of rats.
abstract: 2-APH is an antagonist of excitation due to dicarboxylic amino acids and has a protective effect against several types of experimental seizures. We have studied its effect on EEG of rats. Following either intracerebroventricular or intraperitoneal administration of 2-APH produces slow waves of high voltage in central cortex. The anticonvulsant action of this drug may be related to altered activity in neurones of this area.
