title: 'Kindling' a sleep disorder: degree of sleep pathology predicts kindled seizure susceptibility in cats.
abstract: Progressive sleep deficits accompanying the gradual development of a kindled seizure disorder in cats persist at least one month after kindling and correlate with subsequent seizure thresholds. These parallels between the two pathologies suggest the kindling of a sleep disorder which occurs in addition to, and may be a determinant of, the kindled seizure disorder.
