Phase-Dependent Response to Electrical Stimulation of Cortical Networks during Recurrent Epileptiform Short Discharge Generation In Vitro.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The closed-loop control of pathological brain activity is a challenging task. In this study, we investigated the sensitivity of continuous epileptiform short discharge generation to electrical stimulation applied at different phases between the discharges using an in vitro 4-AP-based model of epilepsy in rat hippocampal slices. As a measure of stimulation effectiveness, we introduced a sensitivity function, which we then measured in experiments and analyzed with different biophysical and abstract mathematical models, namely, (i) the two-order subsystem of our previous Epileptor-2 model, describing short discharge generation governed by synaptic resource dynamics; (ii) a similar model governed by shunting conductance dynamics (Epileptor-2B); (iii) the stochastic leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF)-like model applied for the network; (iv) the LIF model with potassium M-channels (LIF+KM), belonging to Class II of excitability; and (v) the Epileptor-2B model with after-spike depolarization. A semi-analytic method was proposed for calculating the interspike interval (ISI) distribution and the sensitivity function in LIF and LIF+KM models, which provided parametric analysis. Sensitivity was found to increase with phase for all models except the last one. The Epileptor-2B model is favored over other models for subthreshold oscillations in the presence of large noise, based on the comparison of ISI statistics and sensitivity functions with experimental data. This study also emphasizes the stochastic nature of epileptiform discharge generation and the greater effectiveness of closed-loop stimulation in later phases of ISIs.
