N2  - Minor brain injury was inflicted with a small hypodermic needle at four sites from the scalp 7 days before the production of convulsion by i.p. injection of 100 mg/kg lidocaine in mice. The latency to convulsion and survival rate were significantly longer and higher, respectively, in the brain-injured group than in the sham-operated one. Thus, the results suggest that a protective mechanism develops in the injured brain against asphyxia caused by lidocaine convulsion.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
