Kindling phenomenon provides an experimental model of limbic secondarily generalized epilepsy. It can be easily obtained by stimulation of the olfactory bulb (OB) which is strongly connected to limbic structures. The after-discharge induced by subconvulsant electrical stimulations, is followed by a behavioral phenomenon, named Wet Dog Shakes (WDS). In the course of the Rat OB kindling, the development of WDS is biphasic: 1) an ascendant phase during the first three stages, and 2) a descendant phase in the stages 4 and 5, that may give evidence of the installation and the intensification of the kindling process. The significance of this behavior in seizure generalization is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007696 Kindling, Neurologic The repeated weak excitation of brain structures, that progressively increases sensitivity to the same stimulation. Over time, this can lower the threshold required to trigger seizures. Kindlings, Neurologic,Neurologic Kindling,Neurologic Kindlings
D008297 Male Males
D009830 Olfactory Bulb Ovoid body resting on the CRIBRIFORM PLATE of the ethmoid bone where the OLFACTORY NERVE terminates. The olfactory bulb contains several types of nerve cells including the mitral cells, on whose DENDRITES the olfactory nerve synapses, forming the olfactory glomeruli. The accessory olfactory bulb, which receives the projection from the VOMERONASAL ORGAN via the vomeronasal nerve, is also included here.

D012640 Seizures Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or "seizure disorder."
