Upregulation of glutamate receptors can contribute to seizures.
NBQX is a highly selective competitive antagonist of AMPA/KA glutamate receptors.
NBQX had an effect on acute seizure development in the virus-induced seizure model.
NBQX treatment resulted in a greater seizure burden, both incidence and severity.
NBQX, a potent anticonvulsant, has the opposite effect on virus-induced seizures.
