Influence of subcortical stimulation on amygdaloid kindled cats.
Amygdaloid kindling seizures with threshold stimulation was modified by electrical stimulation of certain subcortical structures such as the VL, the CGM and the MRF. Low frequency stimulations of the VL and the CGM (10 Hz) were effective for seizure inhibition. On the contrary, high frequency stimulation of the MRF (300 Hz) tended to facilitate the generalization of the seizure.
