title: Electroconvulsive shock-induced impairment of spatial learning is aggravated by nifedipine.
abstract: Chronic electroconvulsive treatment applied immediately after a training session or with a 15 min delay impairs spatial learning and memory in the Morris water maze paradigm, and this impairment is not counteracted, but rather aggravated by co-administration of a calcium channel blocker, nifedipine.
