Neocortical and Thalamic Spread of Amygdala Kindled Seizures

Abstract

We found evidence for increased connectivity between the amygdala and frontal cortex both during seizures and in the interictal period, as a result of kindling. Enhanced connections between limbic and neocortical circuits may be important for the development of epilepsy, as well as for normal long-range network plasticity in the nervous system.
