摘要

In this study, we present a novel low-frequency electrical stimulation paradigm for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). The paradigm utilizes the hippocampal commissure as a unique stimulation target to simultaneously influence large portions of the bilateral hippocampal network. When applied to an acute rat model of MTLE, animals that received stimulation exhibited an 88% reduction in the signal power of the bilateral epileptiform activity relative to the control group. In addition, the stimulation entrained the hippocampal network%26apos;s spontaneous epileptiform activity and disrupted its bilateral synchrony.
