E(2) lowers amygdala ADTs and facilitates kindling. This effect may involve both direct E(2) effects and indirect effects mediated via increased levels of circulating corticosterone. P(4) raises amygdala ADTs, slows kindling development and suppresses fully kindled seizures. Hence, P(4) may have potential therapeutic value for women with catamenial epilepsy.
