This study investigates the development of the amygdaloid kindling in rats at ages ranging from 20 days to ca.

Abstract

Epidemiologic studies indicate that in humans, epileptic seizures more frequently occur early and later in life (Hauser and Kurland, 1975). However, no experimental studies on the seizure susceptibility at different ages during the life span of an animal have been reported. The present study was designed to investigate the development of the amygdaloid kindling in rats at ages ranging from 20 days to ca. 2 years.
