Abstract
Perturbational studies were performed on an epileptic model, and a singular stimulus which induced cessation of the repetitive extracellular firing was found. The mechanism probably involved in this extracellular phenomenon is a desynchronization of the individual neuronal firings, as suggested by the intracellular recordings obtained. The use of these techniques to study the possibility of controlling abnormal neuronal activity found in epilepsy is proposed
