Antiepileptogenic effects of rapamycin in a model of infantile spasms due to structural lesions

Abstract

Infantile spasms may evolve into persistent epilepsies including Lennox‐Gastaut syndrome. We compared adult epilepsy outcomes in models of infantile spasms due to structural etiology (multiple‐hit model) or focal cortical inflammation and determined the anti‐epileptogenic effects of pulse‐rapamycin, previously shown to stop spasms in multiple‐hit rats.
