Endurance of the kindling effect is independent of the degree of generalization.
The endurance of the effect of amygdaloid kindling was studied in rats kindled to stages 1-4, then left unstimulated for 45 days prior to resumption of kindling. Afterdischarge duration and behavioral stages upon resumption of kindling revealed retention of the full kindling effect. Endurance of the localized effect of kindling appears to be independent of the degree of generalization prior to interruption of kindling.
