Answer:

Abstract

Background and purpose: The sodium channel is a primary target for treating central nervous system disorders such as epilepsy. In this study the anticonvulsant effect of BmK IT2, a sodium channel-specific neurotoxin, was evaluated in different animal models of epilepsy.

Experimental approach: Experiments were performed on freely moving rats made epileptic by administration of either pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) or pilocarpine. BmK IT2 (0.05–0.5 μg in 2 μl) was microinjected into the CA1 area and its effects on PTZ-induced widespread, seizure-like behaviour and cortex epileptiform EEG, as well as on pilocarpine-induced seizure-like behaviour and c-Fos expression were studied.

Key results: Intrahippocampal application of BmK IT2 dose-dependently inhibited PTZ-induced seizure-like behaviour, and reduced the numbers and duration of the high amplitude and frequency discharges (HAFDs) of the epileptiform EEG component induced by PTZ. Similarly, in the pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) model, BmK IT2 significantly prolonged the latency to onset of the SE, reduced the severity of SE and suppressed hippocampal c-Fos expression during SE.

People do not have a choice in selecting their political party in a _____ party system?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Non-partisan democracy

Explanation:

This type of system is used in some countries when the head of state is designated by inheritance or appointed directly by the sitting head of state. Some even have elections but without making any reference to a political party. Examples of this kind of democracy are the Persian Gulf states such as Oman and Kuwait. These countries even have a type of Congress or Legislature, but their role is merely as advisers. They are not able to create laws or pass bills, they can only be advisers of laws passed by the executive branch.
