Abstract
In two experiments, rats were subjected to a sequence of electrical stimulations alternating from one amygdala to the contralateral one. Each phase of stimulation was for six convulsions prior to alternation to the other side. An oscillation effect resulted, involving low trials to six clonic convulsions and low latency to convulse for stimulation of one side, but high values of these measures for the contralateral site. The oscillation persisted, especially for the latency measure, even when one phase of bilateral stimulation preceded unilateral stimulation, when a 17- to 23-day rest period was inserted following a sequence of alternations and when two phases of bilateral stimulation occurred following postrest unilateral stimulations. The oscillation effect was less prominent in the number of trials to six convulsions data and almost nonexistent in duration of convulsion. Of 16 rats used in 15 to 19 alternating phases, 7 oscillated throughout all of these phases in latency data, but none showed oscillation over all phases in the other dependent variables.
