This work was originally undertaken to establish whether there are cells in the cerebral cortex which repolarize at different rates along their length during recovery from a discharge. This property of cortical cells was suggested by the fact that many responses to electrical stimulation of the cerebral cortex could be accounted for by the presence of such differentially-repolarizing cells in the cortex. Of these responses the paroxysmal or epileptiform afterdischarge caused by strong repetitive stimulation of the cerebral cortex seemed a likely candidate for investigation.
