Deep Brain Stimulation of the Ventral Pallidum Attenuates Epileptiform Activity and Seizing Behavior in Pilocarpine-Treated Rats

Deep Brain Stimulation of the Ventral Pallidum Attenuates Epileptiform Activity and Seizing Behavior in Pilocarpine-Treated Rats

Background: Brain stimulation is effective for people with intractable epilepsy. However, modulating neural targets that provide greater efficacy to more individuals is still needed. Objective/hypothesis: We investigate whether bilateral deep brain stimulation of the ventral pallidum (VP-DBS) has po...
