Question 1 of 5
Indicate an antiseizure drug, which has an impotent effect on the T-type calcium channels in thalamic neurons?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ethosuximide is known for its potent effect on T-type calcium channels in thalamic neurons, which is its primary mechanism for treating absence seizures. However, the question uses 'impotent,' likely a typo for 'important' or 'potent.' Assuming it means a significant effect, Ethosuximide is correct as it directly targets these channels to reduce rhythmic burst firing associated with absence seizures.
