Abstract excerpt
Repeated administration of doses of cocaine below the threshold for seizure induction results in the development of an increased susceptibility to cocaine-induced seizures (cocaine-kindling). Genetic differences in susceptibility to cocaine-kindled seizures were evaluated in 4 inbred mouse strains and compared with susceptibility to seizures induced by acute administration of cocaine. The acute administration of...
