Acute experiments in rats showed that SC electrical stimulation (ES) (100 Hz, 5 V, 0.25 ms) resulted in suppression of the epileptic activity in contralateral strychnine-induced (0.1%; 1.0%) focus and shortening of the focus existence time. After electrocoagulation of SC ES-zone the EpA in the focus was restored. ES of SC ipsilateral to strychnine-induced (0.1%) focus caused an increase in the spike frequencies but significant part of the antiepileptic system.
