ResumoWhat is the nature of the kindling process? “Kindling” was coined by Goddard and his colleagues [20] to describe an observed phenomenon — the progressively increasing seizure generalization seen with repeated, temporally spaced stimulations of certain brain structures. From this phenomenological point of view, kindling is well named, since it appears to be a self-perpetuating process which once started continues inexorably to completion.
