Kindling of seizures with low-frequency electrical stimulation
Brain Research
|August 25, 1980
Abstract:
Repeated application of electrical stimulation to the amygdala at a frequency of 3 Hz resulted in the development of afterdischarge and behavioral seizures. The rate of low-frequency kindling was faster than that of kindling with conventional 60 Hz stimulation, but the form of the seizures kindled with the two frequencies of stimulation was identical. Low-frequency kindling was obtained only when pulses of sufficient duration and intensity were administered.
