Development of spontaneous seizures over extended electrical kindling. I. Electrographic, behavioral, and transfer kindling correlates.

The present study was aimed at evaluating an extended kindling model of spontaneous epilepsy. Behavioral and electrographic responses to repeated kindling of either the perforant path or amygdala were monitored for up to 300 trials. Kindling initially led to generalized convulsions equivalent to the level 5 seizure on the rating scale developed by Racine.
