The effects of intraseptal application of atropine on c-fos proto-oncogene expression related to soman treatment were studied by immunohistochemistry for c-Fos-like proteins. In control rats, 2 h after the onset of convulsion, c-Fos-like immunoreactivity was intense in the piriform and entorhinal cortices, but also in the cingulate, frontoparietal and retrosplenial cortices. In addition, the staining was moderate in the hypothalamus, amygdala and fascia dentata. The intraseptal application of atropine, which prevented soman-induced convulsions, reduced or even blocked c-Fos-like protein production related to soman treatment. This inhibition of Fos induction was significant in most of the limbic structures but also in non-limbic areas. The data in this study strongly suggest that the cholinergic cells of the medial septal area play a key role in soman-induced seizures, and confirm that c-Fos-like protein induction is closely related to neuronal hyperactivity.
