title: [Effect of electroshock convulsions on caudate nucleus function].
abstract: In unrestrained cats, after the electro--shock seizures, the afamphetamine--indused stereotype, behavior was increased and the caudate circular response to high--frequency stimulation was facilitated. The delayed response to low-frequency stimulation of the caudate nucleus was, on the contrary, decreased. Thresholds of the circular and delayed responses to stimulation of the thalamus and capsula interna did not change in the post--seizure period. The above shifts are supposed to be due to weakening of the caudate nucleus inhibitory function resulting from the electro--shock--evoked increase in the caudate dophamine.
