Dynamic Variations of Local Cerebral Blood Flow in Maximal Electroshock Seizures in the Rat

Summary:  Purpose: Measurement of cerebral blood flow is routinely used to locate the areas involved in generation and spread of seizures in epilepsy patients. Because the nature of the hyperperfused regions varies with the timing of injection of tracer, in this study, we used a rat model of maximal electroshock seizures to follow up the time‐dependent changes in the distribution of seizure‐induced cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes.
