I.緒言
中枢神経系の機能の究明のために,てんかん痙攣そのものを目的としたり,またそれを条件として,生理学的または生化学的さらには心理学的研究までが行なわれているが,実験てんかん痙攣誘発のため,あるいはてんかん異常脳波賦活のために,種々の物理的または化学的な脳の刺激方法がとられている。
脳内機構は,刺激にたいしてその生理解剖学的な差によつて異なつた親和性を有しているから,それらの刺激の作用機序は異なり,どの方法を用いても,その結果として一律に同じ型のてんかん発作が誘発されるものと考えてはならないことは当然であろう。
An attempt was done in order to make an electro-physiological analysis of the metrazol-induced seizure by means of the EEG recorded with depth electrodes. Fractional administration of the metrazol solution (10 mg/30 sec) was given in unanaesthetized cats.
1. The minimum dosage of the metrazol to induce the multiple spike discharge associated with convul-sion, that is, the major seizure was 22. 5 mg per kg of body weight.
2. Body weight is a significant factor to determine the threshold dosage.
3. The excitation induced by the metrazol was as a criterion, indicated by sharp waves or spikes in EEG. They were originated at the subcortical nuclei in motor system. In contrast to it, the origination at sensory or limbic systems was found in none of the cases.
4. It is, therefore, to be concluded that the metra-zol-induced seizure is of the subcortical origin in motor system.
