Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Antiseizure drugs (ASDs) modulate synaptic and ion channel function to prevent abnormal hypersynchronous or excitatory activity arising in neuronal networks, but the relationship between ASDs with respect to their impact on network activity is poorly defined. In this study, we first investigated whether different ASD classes exert differential impact upon network activity, and we then sought to classify ASDs according to their impact on network activity.
