Neural Growth, Neural Damage and Neurotrophins in the Kindling Model of Epilepsy

Chapter
Part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology book series (AEMB, volume 497)

Abstract

Kindling is most frequently cited as a model of complex partial seizures with secondary generalization. As pointed out by Racine and Burnham,119 however, there are a wide variety of clinical events that are suitably modeled by kindling phenomena. We will begin with a brief description of some of these phenomena. Readers familiar with kindling may wish to jump ahead to the section on mechanisms—recent work.
