This study was to examine the therapeutic effect of low-frequency electric stimulation (LFS) on the epileptogenic focus in amygdale-kindled rats, and to find out the optimal stimulus parameters. A microelectrode was implanted into the right amygdale of adult male rats. After fully kindling, LFS was delivered to the right amygdale (through the electrode) between seizures to induce stimulus train...

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of rapid eye movement sleep deprivation (REMSD) for 5 days on depressive-like behavior and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) expression in the amygdale of mice. METHODS Adult male C57BL/6J mice were divided into blank control group, control group and REMSD group. REMSD models were established by a modified multiple small platform method. The mice were examined for loc...
