Abstract
Susceptibility to amygdaloid kindled seizures in rats was examined after injections of isotonic saline or.8 g/kg or 1.6 g/kg ethanol. Ethanol produced a dose-dependent increase in threshold for Stage 4-5 seizures and decreased seizure duration. Thresholds for Stage 1-3 seizures were also elevated by ethanol.
