Development of Epileptic Seizures through Brain Stimulation at Low Intensity
GRAHAM V. GODDARD
Department of Psychology, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
A RECENT communication by Herberg and Watkins1 reported that animals are more resistant to convulsions shortly after having had a convulsion than at other times. This note does not debate this temporary elevation of convulsive threshold but rather emphasizes an equally important phenomenon in which, over a longer period of time, the convulsive threshold is reduced.
