Discriminative stimulus properties of pentylenetetrazol and bemegride: some generalization and antagonism tests. (279 words)
The bemegride discriminative stimulus generalized to PTZ (20mg/kg) and was antagonized by chlordiazepoxide (10 mg/kg).
Bemegride and cocaine generalized to the PTZ discriminative stimulus in a dose-dependent manner, but d-amphetamine, methylphenidate, and nicotine did not.
Since bemegride and PTZ are convulsants at higher doses, the discriminative stimulus properties of these drugs might be based on a subtle convulsive brain state.
[EEG activation with bemegride in epilepsy diagnosis. 1: Literature review] (281 words)
The administration of bemegride intends the activation of epileptiform discharges in the EEG of patients with a disposition for epilepsy.
The result of the bemegride test is influenced by sex, type of seizures, age and alcohol intake.
In our opinion, the bemegride test is contraindicated in patients with established epilepsy (epileptic seizures respectively) or in cases in whom the occurrence of epileptic seizures is probable.
