MANSOUR, A., R. DOYLE, R. KATZ AND E. S. VALENSTEIN. Long-lasting changes in morphine sensitivity following amygdaloid kindling in mice. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 27(6) 1117-1120, 1981.--Mice tested at either 3, 27 or 90 days following their last amygdala kindled convulsion exhibited a marked increase in response to morphine compared to controls. Kindled animals showed a higher incidence of clonic convulsions and an exaggerated Straub tail response, both of which could be blocked by naloxone pretreatment. The changes in response to morphine produced by kindling may provide a model for studying the long-lasting effects of convulsions.

Morphine responsiveness and seizure proneness.
Previous research demonstrated that following amygdala kindling, animals showed a heightened sensitivity to morphine's convulsive effects and an exaggerated Straub tail response. These effects were evident to 3 months after their last convulsion and could be blocked by naloxone pretreatment. The present paper extends these findings by demonstrating that animals given metrazol or electroshock (E...
متن کاملChemical kindling enhances the Schaffer collateral-CAl pyramidal cell synaptic transmission in anesthetized rats
Epilepsy is one of the common disorders in human community. Clinical observations have shown that epileptic patients have often difficulty in learning and memory. Kindling is a laboratory model for studying epilepsy and its complications. This experiment was designed to study the effect of chemical kindling on Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synaptic transmission using pentylenetetrazole...
متن کاملResistance of immature hippocampus to morphologic and physiologic alterations following status epilepticus or kindling.
Seizures in adult rats result in long-term deficits in learning and memory, as well as an enhanced susceptibility to further seizures. In contrast, fewer lasting changes have been found following seizures in rats younger than 20 days old. This age-dependency could be due to differing amounts of hippocampal neuronal damage produced by seizures at different ages. To determine if there is an early...
متن کاملThe effect of lamotrigin on stress-induced behavioral and biochemical changes in mice
Stress may cause special behavioral and biochemical changes. Kindling is presumed to be the underlying mechanism for such changes. Lamotrigin, an anti-kindling agent which blocks glutamate release through inhibiting sodium channels may reverse these behavioral changes. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of lamotrigin in management of behavioral and biochemical changes caused by st...
متن کاملInducible cAMP early repressor acts as a negative regulator for kindling epileptogenesis and long-term fear memory.
Long-lasting neuronal plasticity as well as long-term memory (LTM) requires de novo synthesis of proteins through dynamic regulation of gene expression. cAMP-responsive element (CRE)-mediated gene transcription occurs in an activity-dependent manner and plays a pivotal role in neuronal plasticity and LTM in a variety of species. To study the physiological role of inducible cAMP early repressor ...
