> This is all really new to me. What is "kindling"?
> ThanksKindling is a process that occurs in certain regions of the brain whereby neural circuits become hyperexcitable from previous excessive activity. Once they become hypersensitive to stimuli, these neurons require less and less to become excited. This is how epilepsy works. I believe that certain aspects of drug withdrawal syndromes resemble this kindling model.
