Focal seizure threshold before and after chronic treatment with levetiracetam during kindling development (see legend to table 1 for details)

  • The table shows the initial (pre-kindling) afterdischarge threshold (ADT) determined 1 day before onset of treatment and the ADT determined in fully kindled rats 1 week after the 10th stage 5 seizure. In all groups, postkindling ADTs were significantly lower than pre-kindling ADTs (P at least <.05). There was no significant difference between groups in either prekindling or postkindling ADTs. All data are shown as means ± S.E.
