Optogenetic train stimulation produces an AD. Kindling with daily oADs results in an overt behavioral seizure. A, Representative example of an optically-evoked AD. Top traces, Suprathreshold stimulation levels (for AD) produce network wide PDs (black traces). At subthreshold intensity levels, activation was observed only at the stimulation site (CA1-R; red traces). Middle traces, Zoomed out view of oAD. Bottom traces, pHFOs during oAD induction. B, oADs involve pHFOs across multiple sites with a non-zero phase lag. C, The probability of AD given at least × PDs occurring during the stimulus train. Inset, The overall probability of a PD on each pulse of the train, including subthreshold stimuli. Probabilities were calculated for each animal and the mean is displayed with 95% CIs, n = 7 animals. D, Seizure threshold remained stable throughout the kindling period. E, Behavioral seizure severity increased with each AD and was correlated with stimulation number.
