Paradoxical proepileptic response to NMDA receptor blockade linked to cortical interneuron defect in stargazer mice

Paradoxical seizure exacerbation by antiepileptic medication is a well-known clinical phenomenon in epilepsy, but the cellular mechanisms remain unclear. One possibility is enhanced network disinhibition by unintended suppression of inhibitory interneurons. We investigated this hypothesis in the sta...
