Electroencephalographic recordings from intrahippocampal electrodes before, during, and after electrically induced temporal status epilepticus (SE). a Representative baseline activity in rats before stimulations (top), high-frequency epileptiform activity during the 2 h of self-sustained SE (middle), and baseline activity after SE was terminated with pentobarbital injection (bottom). b Pie chart showing the relative distribution of different seizure semiology during the 2-h SE period. The semiology is based on the Racine’s scale [18], where stages 0–2 and 3–5 represent partial and generalized seizure semiology, respectively. Each segment depicts the mean percentage of time spent exhibiting the behavior
