C-fos mRNA expression following electrical-induced seizure and acute nociceptive stress in mouse brain.

A single electroconvulsive shock (ECS) induced a rapid and transient expression of c-fos mRNA in mouse brain. In earclipped sham controls, low but significant expression of c-fos mRNA was also observed. These data suggest that c-fos mRNA may be transiently induced by seizure activity as well as much more subtle and qualitative different stimuli, such as the acute nociceptive stress associated with earclipping.

Differential effects of acute and repeated electrically and chemically induced seizures on [3H]Nimodipine and [125I]omega-conotoxin GVIA binding in rat brain.

[3H]Nimodipine and high-affinity [125I]omega-conotoxin GVIA (CgTX) binding were investigated in membranes from rat cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus after electrically and chemically induced seizures. Animals were decapitated 30 min after a single electroconvulsive shock (ECS) or lidocaine-induced seizure and 24 h after the last of 10 once-daily ECS or six once-daily lidocaine-induced seizures. After a single ECS, [3H]nimodipine and [125I]CgTX binding sites decreased in cerebral cortex (by 10% and 17%, respectively). A downregulation of [3H]nimodipine binding sites in hippocampus occurred after single and repeated lidocaine-induced seizures (by 24% and 11%, respectively), whereas [125I]CgTX binding remained unaltered. An earlier report on changes in [3H]nitrendipine binding after chronic ECS in cortex and hippocampus was not confirmed.
