Article Synopsis
- The study investigates changes in brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG) during and after a temporary loss of blood flow (cerebral ischemia) in rats through middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 30 minutes.
- It finds significant increases in delta and alpha wave activity during ischemia, and noticeable changes in theta, alpha, and beta waves during the immediate reperfusion phase, along with changes in specific ratios that indicate brain activity status.
- The results suggest that monitoring these EEG changes could help evaluate the success of reperfusion therapy following a stroke.
Introduction: Local anesthetics are widely used in clinical practice. While toxicity is rare, these drugs can cause potentially lethal seizures.
Objective: In the present study, we investigated the electrocorticographic (ECoG) and electromyographic patterns of seizures induced by acute lidocaine (LA) toxicity and treated with anticonvulsant drugs.
Alteration of Testosterone Levels Changes Brain Wave Activity Patterns and Induces Aggressive Behavior in Rats.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

Testosterone is responsible for several changes in the brain, including behavioral and emotional responses, memory, and cognition. Given this, we investigated changes in the brain wave profile caused by supplementation with exogenous testosterone in both castrated and non-castrated rats. We also investigated the serum testosterone levels, renal and hepatic function, and the lipid and behavioral profiles.
