The Effects of Furosemide on Epileptiform Discharges in Hippocampal Slices
[0059] During these studies, spontaneous epileptiform activity was elicited by a variety of treatments. Sprague-Dawley rats (males and females; 25-35 days old) were decapitated, the top of the skull was rapidly removed, and the brain chilled with ice-cold oxygenated slicing medium. The slicing medium was a sucrose-based artificial cerebrospinal fluid (sACSF) consisting of 220 mM sucrose, 3 mM KCI, 1.25 mM NaH2PO4, 2 mM MgSO4, 26 mM NaHCO3, 2 mM CaCl2, and 10 mM dextrose (295-305 mOsm). A hemisphere of brain containing hippocampus was blocked and glued (cyanoacrylic adhesive) to the stage of a Vibroslicer (Frederick Haer, Brunsick, Me.). Horizontal or transverse slices 400 μm thick were cut in 4° C., oxygenated (95% O2; 5% CO2) slicing medium. The slices were immediately transferred to a holding chamber where they remained submerged in oxygenated bathing medium (ACSF) consisting of 124 mM NaCl, 3 mM KCl, 1.25 ...

The Effects of Furosemide on Epileptiform Discharges in Hippocampal Slices Perfused with High-K+ (10 mM) Bathing Medium
[0065] Rat hippocampal slices, prepared as described above, were perfused with a high-K+ solution until extended periods of spontaneous interictal-like bursting were recorded simultaneously in CA3 (top traces) and CA1 (lower traces) pyramidal cell regions (FIGS. 2A and 2B). After 15 minutes of perfusion with furosemide-containing medium (2.5 mM furosemide), the burst discharges increased in magnitude (FIGS. 2C and 2D). However, after 45 minutes of furosemide perfusion, the bursts were blocked in a reversible manner (FIGS. 2E, 2F, 2G and 2H). During this entire sequence of furosemide perfusion, the synaptic response to a single test pulse delivered to the Schaffer colalterals was either unchanged or enhanced (data not shown). It is possible that the initial increase in discharge amplitude reflected a furosemide-induced decrease in inhibition (Misgeld et al., Science...

The Effects of Furosemide on Epileptiform Activity Induced by i.v. Injection of Kainic Acid in Anesthetized Rats
[0067] This example illustrates an in vitro model in which epileptiform activity was induced by i.v. injection of kainic acid (KA) into anesthetized rats (Lothman et al., Neurology 31:806, 1981). The results are illustrated in FIGS. 3A-3H. Sprague-Dawley rats (4 animals; weights 250-270 g) were anesthetized with urethane (1.25 g / kg i.p.) and anesthesia maintained by additional urethane injections (0.25 g / kg i.p.) as needed. Body temperature was monitored using a rectal temperature probe and maintained at 35-37° C. with a heating pad; heart rate (EKG) was continuously monitored. The jugular vein was cannulated on one side for intravenous drug administration. Rats were placed in a Kopf stereotaxic device (with the top of the skull level), and a bipolar stainless-steel microelectrode insulated to 0.5 mm of the tip was inserted to a depth of 0.5-1.2 mm from the cortical surfa...
