Acute Postischemic Seizures Are Associated with Increased Mortality and Brain Damage in Adult Mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Postischemic seizures are associated with worsened outcome following stroke, but the underlying pathophysiology is poorly understood. Here we examined acute seizures in adult mice following hypoxia-ischemia (HI) via combined behavioral, electrophysiological, and histological assessments. C57BL/6 mice aged 4-9 months received a permanent occlusion of the right common carotid artery and then underwent a systemic hypoxic episode. Generalized motor seizures were observed within 72 h following HI. These seizures occurred nearly exclusively in animals with extensive brain injury in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the carotid occlusion, but their generation was not associated with electroencephalographic discharges in bilateral hippocampal and neocortical recordings. Animals exhibiting these seizures had a high rate of mortality, and post-HI treatments with diazepam and phenytoin greatly suppressed these behavioral seizures and improved post-HI animal survival. Based on these data, we conclude that these seizures are a consequence of HI brain injury, contribute to worsened outcome following HI, and that they originate from deep subcortical structures.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
