CBD attenuates epileptiform activity induced by Mg2+-free aCSF.
A, representative traces showing the effects of 100 μM CBD on
Mg2+-free aCSF-induced LFP bursts in different regions of
hippocampal slices. Dotted lines represent an individual LFP (as shown in
B). B, effects of 1 and 100 μM CBD on a representative
individual Mg2+-free aCSF-induced LFP burst. C, bar graphs
showing the effects of acute treatment of increasing CBD concentrations on
normalized burst amplitude (Ci), normalized burst duration (Cii), and
normalized burst frequency in Mg2+-free aCSF (Ciii). Note that
burst amplitudes have been adjusted for run-down and burst frequencies have
been adjusted for run-up as described under Materials and
Methods. Values are means ± S.E.M. for the last 10 LFP
bursts in each condition. *, P ≤ 0.05; **,
P ≤ 0.01; ***, P
≤ 0.001 (two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test).
