Possible mechanism of seizure induction by photo-activation of interneurons: post-inhibitory rebound spikes. Optogenetic activation of many interneurons (green) hyperpolarizes a large population of pyramidal neurons (black). When the photo-stimulation ends, pyramidal neurons are simultaneously released from inhibition and fire rebound action potentials initiating an ictal discharge.
