in the chronic phase of the KA-induced epilepsy model. We implanted a microwire array into the hippocampus of each mouse and performed multichannel EEG recordings in vivo as
described in our previous studies [21 (link)]. Briefly, an intracranial electrophysiological recording microwire array (Plexon, Dallas, TX, USA) was implanted
into the CA1 region of the right hippocampus anterior-posterior: 2.0 mm, medial-lateral: +1.5 mm, and dorsal-ventral: 1.5 mm, and affixed to the skull by dental cement in anesthetized mice.
Animals were allowed to recover from surgery for 1 week prior to the recordings. EEG tracings of KA-induced epilepsy in mice were recorded using the OmniPlex® D Neural Data
Acquisition System (Plexon). The signals were preamplified (1,000×), filtered (0.1–1,000 Hz), and digitized at 4 kHz. EEG was recorded for 8 h per day for 7 days, beginning at 8:00 AM, to
avoid the interference of circadian cycle [5 (link)]. We used an OmniPlex® Dneural Data Acquisition System (Plexon) to record EEGs, and defined an
electrophysiological seizure as a seizure with a high frequency (>5 Hz) and high amplitude (>2 times the baseline) that lasted for more than 5 s [22 (link)].
