Gender differences in a Drosophila transcriptomic model of chronic pentylenetetrazole induced behavioral deficit
A male Drosophila model of locomotor deficit induced by chronic pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), a proconvulsant used to model epileptogenesis in rodents, has recently been described. Antiepileptic drugs …

A Drosophila systems model of withdrawal from chronic pentylenetetrazole relevant in post-epileptogenesis
Rodent kindling induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) is an established model of epileptogenesis and antiepileptic drug (AED) testing. Recently, a Drosophila systems model has been described in which…

A novel Drosophila transcriptomic and behavioral model detects potassium chloride with therapeutic potential
In a newly described Drosophila model, two of the five antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) tested, sodium valproate (NaVP) and levetiracetam (LEV), not ethosuximide (ETH), gabapentin (GBP) and vigabatrin …

A novel Drosophila post-genomic CNS drug discovery model detects tetraethylammonium chloride with therapeutic potential
A Drosophila behavioral and transcriptomic model of locomotor plasticity induced by chronic pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) has recently been developed. In this model, two of the five antiepileptic drug…

Transcriptomic analysis implicates ribosomal and energy metabolic pathways in antiepileptic drug action in a Drosophila model
Mechanisms of long term action of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), used in treating epilepsy and many other neurological and psychiatric disorders, are poorly understood. Recently, a novel Drosophila tr…
