Abstract
Comparison of audiogenic seizures of varied severity in rats revealed the amnesic action of the paroxysmal phases of the audiogenic seizures on the consolidation of temporary connections and on short-term memory (but not long term). Audiogenic seizures without behavioral paroxysms disturbed it hardly at all. The results confirm data obtained by the writers previously on differences between the nature of the paroxysmal and preparoxysmal phases of motor activity in audiogenic seizures in rats. the preparoxysmal phase is regarded simply as a unique “motor aura” of the seizure, containing no paroxysmal components.
