One of the specific forms of progression of malignant tumors of the central nervous system is meningeal dissemination. Meningeal dissemination is a condition in which tumor cells migrate to the brain surface and sub arachnoid space via cerebrospinal fluid and then infiltrate there. This condition can arise from both primary and metastatic brain tumors, with reported incidences of 4.

To address the mechanism underlying these anti-convulsant actions, cerebral glucose metabolism following ANT electrical stimulation and lesioning was also assessed.
Methods: Wistar rats were divided into five major groups: control, unilateral and bilateral ANT electrical stimulation, and unilateral and bilateral ANT lesioning.
Purpose: The present study aimed to clarify the effect of electrical stimulation and lesioning of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) on kainic acid (KA)-induced focal cortical seizures in a rat model. To address the mechanism underlying these anticonvulsant actions, cerebral glucose metabolism after ANT electrical stimulation and lesioning was also examined.
Methods: Wistar rats were divided into five major groups: control (n = 9), unilateral (n = 9), and bilateral (n = 9) ANT electrical stimulation, and unilateral (n = 9) and bilateral (n = 9) ANT lesioning.
Overview: Clinical and experimental studies on focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) were carried out.
Materials And Methods: For the experimental study, an experimental FCD model of rats was developed. Twenty Wistar rats at 0-2 days after birth were used for the study.
