Abstract
We are currently involved in a series of studies whose purpose is to compare and contrast the effects of kindling and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the same cortical system, the olfactory cortex. Our findings regarding LTP are presented in detail elsewhere (20,21,22,23). This paper will present some initial observations regarding seizure mechanisms in the olfactory cortex and discuss their implications.
