Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ultimate kindled condition, in which convulsions occur spontaneously, is often used as a model for epilepsy. This condition mimics many of the features of epilepsy seen in humans, such as the occurrence of seizures without any obvious trigger. Thus, choice A is the best answer.

Answer: B, C, D, and E are incorrect 
 While choices B, C, D, and E may all be related to kindling or related research, they are not the best choice in this case. MS (choice B) is a degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system and is not related to kindling. Epileptogenesis (choice C) refers to the process by which a normal brain becomes epileptic, while kindling is a method used to artificially induce epileptic seizures in laboratory animals. Brain damage (choice D) may be a consequence of seizures, but it is not the ultimate result of kindling. Psychopathology (choice E) refers to a group of mental disorders, and while research on kindling may have implications for certain psychiatric conditions, it is not the best answer in this case.
