In three experiments rats, subjected to low-intensity electrical stimulation unilaterally to the amygdala over repeated trials until clonic convulsions resulted, showed the same electrophoretic pattern of the prealbumin range acidic proteins as did nonstimulated controls and rats subjected to stimulation for varying periods prior to convulsions. In a fourth experiment, there were no differences in kindling behavior of recipients injected with soluble proteins from kindled animals, recipients injected with similar material from nonkindled rats, and recipients injected with saline.
