Two reports in particular are most interesting the studies of the pathway of electrical current and the EEG changes. July On my 30 and We are comparing the clinical and EG effects of unilateral bilateral convulsive therapy. That the memory in these two treatments is well knovm, with bilateral differ patterns ECT inducing, nore memory changes than unilateral. But the EEG patterns are poorly described. We find the sauna changes with bilateral reported by yourself and many others - high voltage delta and theta activity , bilaterally. With convulsions induced by a unilateral placement of convulsive with chzmges are much less pruninant with a decrease in and asymmetry as the most cannon. synchronization voltages , poor The bilateral slow waves of grand mal ECT are missing. Perhaps you can recall from your old experiments an answer to the question of electrodes , the what the differences in pathways would be for seizures induced unilateral placenent of electrodes , when compared iter to seizures induced after bilateral placenent? I could only read the Ehglish smmry of your study of EEG and electroshock? That you did not find the same as Roth (or ourselves) is unfortunate and may probably be a function of the time or the techniques of III-)3 analysis. have been much troubled by the stories in our newspapers new in progress in Prague.
