The published article contains several errors listed as follows:
In the Abstract, “Compared with the control group (n=8), Fangjing decoction effectively shortened escape latency and duration of FS and decreased the frequency of FS in rats (n=8)” should read “Compared with the control group (n=8), Fangjing decoction effectively prolonged the latency but shortened the duration of FS in rats (n=8)”.
In the ‘Methods’ section under Drug preparation and animal treatment, “The escape latency of seizure” should read “The latency of seizure”. The penultimate sentence “In addition, seizure frequency was also detected” should be removed.
Under ‘Results’ section, the subsection “Fangjing decoction shortened escape latency and duration of FS and decreased the frequency in a FS rat model” should be replaced with the following:
Fangjing decoction prolonged the latency but shortened the duration of seizures in a FS rat model
- 4.
The corrected Figure 1 and its legend are presented in this correction.
- 5.
In the ‘Discussion’ section, “In the present study, our findings revealed that Fangjing Decoction administration significantly reduced the escape latency, the duration and the frequency of FS in an FS rat model” should read “In the present study, our findings revealed that Fangjing decoction administration significantly prolonged the latency and shortened the duration of FS in a FS rat model”.
Furthermore, “In this paper, we utilized rat FS model to explore the neuroprotective mechanism of Fangjing Decoction, and found that Fangjing Decoction administration could shorten the escape latency and the duration of recurrence of FS, decline the frequency of outbreaks and lessen the degree of FS” should read “In this paper, we utilized rat FS models to explore the neuroprotective mechanism of Fangjing decoction, and found that Fangjing decoction administration could prolong the latency and shorten the duration of FS”.
