| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Corpus callosum is the largest bundle of white matter and which consists of mainly inhibitory fiber. We studied whether there were some inhibitory effects of corpus callosum stimulation on epileptic cortical hyper-excitability. Using cat model under general anesthesia, we recorded "Penicillin induced epileptic discharge" and its change under the stimulation of corpus callosum. As a result, we could not find certain inhibitory change on the epileptic discharge. Conversely, the epileptic discharge was increased by stimulation in some of the cases, although the parameters of stimulation were varied. These results indicates that corpus callosum stimulation has certain impact on cortical excitability, but electrical stimulation with the parameters we have attempted does not induced its physiological inhibitory effect. This interesting findings lead us to apply this model to new research, which investigates epileptic propagation through white matter.
