Chloride Concentration and Seizure Transition Dynamics
Overview
Conductance-based neuronal network model studying how intracellular chloride concentration regulates E/I balance and drives seizure evolution through activity-dependent chloride dynamics.
Based on: Role of chloride concentration in modulating seizure transitions in excitatory and inhibitory networks (2026-04-17)

Abstract
This study investigates how intracellular chloride concentration modulates seizure transitions in excitatory and inhibitory neuronal networks. Using a conductance-based model, we show that activity-dependent chloride dynamics drive seizure evolution through shifts in excitation/inhibition balance, providing mechanistic insights into seizure stage transitions.
Methodology
Conductance-Based Model
- Intracellular chloride [Cl-]i as dynamic variable
- Activity-dependent chloride flux through GABA_A receptors
- E/I balance shift drives seizure state transitions
