Abstract
Three groups of rats were subjected to a sequence of electrical stimulations alternating from one amygdala to the contralateral one. In Group 1 each stimulation was for one convulsion prior to stimulation of the opposite side. Rats in Group 2 had six convulsions per phase. Twelve convulsions per phase were provided for Group 3 rats. The oscillation tendency (high values for one side, low values for the other side) was prominent with all groups, but seemed less prevalent for the rats in the one convulsion per phase group.
