Abstract

The smallest (critical) size of active penicillin foci in exposed rats' brains was determined by: (a) gradual enlargement of drug application area from 0.4 to 2.5 mm²; and by (b) limitation of active penicillin foci by subpial cuts. A critical area of slightly more than 0.5 mm² was arrived at by both techniques. The essential role of the horizontal connections in the cortical top three layers to the maintenance of epilepsy was emphasized.
