The I50 is sensitive to changes in network excitability. A, The relationship between pre-seizure I50 and the 1st oADT (purple) or the average oADT throughout 15 kindling sessions (green). B, C, The GABAa antagonist PTZ (20 mg/kg) shifts the oPD curve leftward and treatment with the anticonvulsant drug LEV (40 mg/kg) partially reverses the shift; n = 6 animals; ***p = 0.00043, **p = 0.0034. Curve error bars indicate the 95% CI. D, E, Handling and intraperitoneal saline administration did not significantly shift the oPD curve compared to baseline (paired t test, n = 7). F, I50 measurements reveal the time course of PTZ-induced hyperexcitability (disinhibition). Plot of the I50 over time. Six block bins, n = 9 presentations of each condition (three trials × three animals). Shaded area is mean ± 95% CI.
