Kindling 5: Proceedings of the 5th Intl Conf Held in Victoria Canada June 1996

These proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Kindling held in June, 1996 in Victoria, British Columbia address new research on the molecular biological, anatomical, and physiological substrates of kindling, as well as in the age- dependent effects and complex behavioral consequences of kindling, its sensitivity to drugs, and its relevance to the clinical epilepsies. Contributions are divided into seven sections on developmental patterns; electrophysiological mechanisms; morphological and anatomical mechanisms; synaptic pharmacology and neurochemistry of kindling; behavioral effects of kindling; drugs; and clinical implications. Includes a generous number of good quality b&w illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
