Abstract

Effects of 1 electroconvulsive shock on rat behavior were investigated in 2 experiments. Data indicated that 6-8 hr. after 1 ECS, operant responding, free open-field activity, and time taken to descend from a platform were reduced. Weight loss 24 hr. following the ECS and a decrease in heart rate 3 days later were noted. The findings were discussed in relation to experiments using 1-trial avoidance tasks to study the effects of ECS on consolidation processes.
