The experiments to be described in this paper were undertaken to find out how the immediate behavior of rats in an already known environment would be affected by generalized convulsions. Another objective was to see whether a difference in behavior could be demonstrated after convulsions which were induced by electroshock as compared with the reactions in the post-convulsive period following a convulsion produced by noise-fright* stimulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
