Recovery from Electroconvulsive Shock as a Function of Infantile Stimulation.
Eighty Wistar rats were handled at 2 to 5, 6 to 9, or 10 to 13 days of age, or not at all. In adulthood each group was split into halves with one-half of each group receiving electroconvulsive shock treatment. Assays of sugar concentration in the blood serum 24 hours after the convulsions indicated that subjects handled at 2 to 5 days of life exhibited no effect of the treatment, whereas all other groups showed marked increases in blood sugar concentration.
