Modification of seizure activity by electrical stimulation: II. Motor seizure

RJ Racine - Electroencephalography and clinical neurophysiology, 1972 - Elsevier
Daily electrical stimulations of the amygdala and hippocampus at intensities sufficient to
evoke after-discharges (ADs) resulted in the development of motor seizures, which could not
initially be evoked by these stimulations. The triggering of ADs was critical for this
development, as well as for the development of permanent changes in the characteristics of
the AD. The wave form of the AD “spikes” became more complex. The frequency of these
spikes and the duration of AD increased. The amplitude of the AD spikes increased in the …
