Myhrer T, Enger S, Aas P (2007) Anticonvulsant effects of damage to structures involved in seizure induction in rats exposed to soman. Neurotoxicology 28(4):819-828. doi: 10.1016/j.neuro.2007.03.010
Summary: Soman is a nerve agent that irreversibly inhibits acetylcholinesterase, resulting in respiratory dysfunction, seizures, convulsions, coma, and death. In this work the authors investigated whether elimination of cholinergic pathways in the medial septum (MS) or diagonal band nucleus (DBN) would affect the onset of convulsions. 0.3 µl of 0.5-µg/µl 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) was infused into the MS and/or DBN. Lesioned animals still experienced convulsions, suggesting that cholinergic MS systems are not the only ones involved.
