N2 - Epilepsy encompasses a group of neurological disorders characterized by an imbalance of electrical activity in the central nervous system (CNS) and recurrent seizures representing the principal clinical manifestation. Acetylcholine (ACh), serotonin, and norepinephrine (NE) may modulate neural activity via several mechanisms, mainly through its receptors/transporter activity and alterations in the extracellular potassium (K+) concentration via inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channels. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the immunoreactivity pattern of these neurotransmitter, receptors/transporters and Kir channels in Pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-kindling rat model, a well-established tool for studying chronic epilepsy.
