Power spectral analysis of electroencephalographic activity in kindled rats.
Power spectral analysis of the resting EEG activity of amygdala kindled rats revealed a decrease of power in the 1- to 3-Hz band and an increase in the 4- to 6-Hz band compared with 3-Hz-stimulated and operated control animals. This effect was observed only in the stimulated but not the contralateral amygdala. The alteration in power seen shortly after kindling was still evident after a 1-month stimulation-free period.
