| Research Abstract |
Newborn infants are vulnerable for seizures, which are generally resistant to anti-convulsants. In our current project, we developed a large animal model of neonatal seizure by titrating the depth of hypo-ventilation insult. To assess the seizure burden following the recovery from the insult, we developed a handy telemetry video EEG system with off-line amplitude-integrated EEG exchanger software, which enabled us to quantitate the frequency and the duration of seizures. Our model would be relevant to the clinical neonatal seizures following perinatal hypoxia-ischaemia, which could be used to assess the impact of the treatment on histopathological changes in the brain as well as to develop new pharmacological treatments.
