title: Influence of treatment duration on audiogenic seizure susceptibility during barbiturate withdrawal in rats.
abstract: Barbiturate withdrawal seizure susceptibility in rats increased with increasing duration of treatment during a 15-day treatment period in which the animals were given an i.p. dose of sodium barbital every 12 h. This method of producing dependence has clear advantages over previously described methods.
