Seizure Patterns of Mongolian Gerbils Subjected to a Prolonged Weekly Test Schedule: Evidence for a Kindling‐Like Phenomenon in the Adult Population

Abstract

Seizures of progressive severity can be induced in adult gerbils with a prolonged test regimen. As a consequence, the number of regularly seizing gerbils in a colony can be increased. Prolonged tests starting at a defined age may help characterize seizure development better in this genetic model of limbic epilepsy.
