Modification of seizure activity by electrical stimulation: I. after-discharge threshold

Abstract

Rats with multiple recording and stimulating electrodes were stimulated electrically in the amygdala, hippocampus and reticular formation. Intensity of stimulation was varied in a systematic way to determine the threshold at which after-discharges (ADs) were produced in the vicinity of the stimulating electrode. AD thresholds were permanently reduced by 40–60% in the amygdala and 25% in the hippocampus by daily 1 sec bursts of stimulation. The …
