Convulsion Animal Model (CAT#: STEM-AE-0031-WXH)

Introduction

A convulsion is a medical condition where the body muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in uncontrolled shaking. Convulsions can be caused by epilepsy, infections, brain trauma, or other medical conditions. They can also occur from an electric shock or improperly enriched air for scuba diving.




Applications

• Mechanisms involved in studying convulsions.
• Convulsion-related drug development, drug screening and efficacy research.

Procedure

1. Pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsion model: Pentetrazol mainly acts on the brainstem and brain, enhancing the facilitation process of excitatory synapses and causing convulsions.
2. Chronic ignition of pentetrazol in rat convulsion model.
3. Strychnine-induced convulsion model in mice: strychnine is an antagonist of glycine receptors of spinal cord inhibitory neurons, which can selectively excite the spinal cord, and high-dose intraperitoneal injection can cause epilepsy-like tonic convulsions in animals.
4. Electrical stimulation induced convulsion model in mice: electrical stimulation induced convulsions in mice, and the animals developed tonic convulsions after electrical stimulation.
5. Rat febrile convulsion model in the developing stage: the febrile convulsions of the rats were induced by a hot water bath, and the animals developed tonic convulsions after electrical stimulation.
6. Auditory-induced convulsions model: Strong bell stimulation causes excessive excitement of the auditory center, which then spreads to the adjacent motor centers, causing certain sensitive animals to produce a stereotyped motor seizure.
7. Semicarbazide-induced convulsion model in mice.
