Post-activation potentiation in the neocortex. III. Kindling-induced potentiation in the chronic preparation

Previous experiments have shown the neocortex to be very resistant to the induction of long-term potentiation in chronic preparations. We show here that kindling-induced potentiation effects can be reliably produced in the neocortex of awake, freely moving rats. These effects develop rather slowly. In sites contralateral to the stimulation electrode, potentiation effects did not become clear until the animals had received about 5 days or more …
