The Effect of Music Exposure on Epileptic Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazole in Rats
Under the present experimental conditions, Mozart K.448 did not significantly modulate GABAergic activity as measured by PPI. The observed trends toward shorter seizure latency and higher seizure severity in the music group may reflect a possible context-dependent increase in excitability, although these findings remain preliminary due to the small sample size. Given the complex nature of music's effects, further studies employing larger cohorts, and complementary neurophysiological methods are warranted.
