Kindling phenomenon: impairment by auditory stimuli.
By coupling kindling stimuli with tones, it is shown that kindled epileptiform activity is not easily classically conditioned such that it can be evoked by an auditory stimulus. On the contrary, a tone presented 400 msec before and during the kindling stimulus impedes the rate of kindling.
