Abstract Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, profoundly impacts individuals worldwide. Various electrical stimulation protocols have been investigated to mitigate epileptic among which Coordinated Reset (CR) may potential for inducing long-lasting neural desynchronization. This study explores the acute effects of CR on synchronization dynamics during Status Epilepticus (SE) in an vivo animal model. An electrographically sustained seizure-state was induced via 4-aminopyridine (4AP) administration CA3. Custom-designed electrode probes were implanted facilitate simultaneous recording and stimulation. Analytical univariate bivariate features constructed from LFP time-series recording. Feature metrics focused spike continuous signal analysis amplitude, spectral power phase across pairs frequency bands. Significance modulation assessed through permutation testing observed differences between CR-stimulated group (N=5) compared control (no stimulation) (N=3) SE. Results showed overall decrease amplitude features, significant connectivity measures spectrum group. Our findings underscore effectiveness attenuating excessive synchronization, paving way further exploration as viable intervention network desynchronization epileptiform activity subsequently treatment seizures.
