    Abstract:
    A semi-chronic model of cobalt-induced experimental epilepsy in the rat was used to investigate the action of two classic anticonvulsant drugs, phenytoin and ethosuximide. Single injections of ethosuximide lead to an inhibition of the epileptic discharges. We failed to demonstrate an inhibitory effect of phenytoin after preventive administration. The carbidopa-L-dopa association was investigated owing to the inhibitory effects of dopamine and its presence in the cortex. We showed that a dose of 100 mg/kg of L-dopa combined with 25 mg/kg of carbidopa is necessary and sufficient to produce an almost complete inhibition of the discharges.
