title: Can postictal suppression of the perforant path - fascia dentata responses account for the ECS-induced anterograde amnesia in rats?
abstract: Electroconvulsive shock (ECS) decreases fascia dentata responses to entorhinal stimulation by 50% in unanesthetized rats. Synaptic potentials and population spikes return to pre-ECS level during 1 h and 3 h, respectively. This recovery rate is compared with the dynamics of ECS-induced anterograde amnesia.
