Correlation of spike intervals and amplitudes in hypersynchronous EEG episodes in rat with cobalt focus

EEG activity was recorded from rats with chronic cobalt foci and implanted electrodes. Within this activity, hypersynchronous rhythmic spike episodes (and those of waves) of mean frequency of 8-9/sec were studied. The spike amplitude-interval relationship was assessed, using correlation analysis method. A positive correlation of an exponential nature was found to be growing in line with temporal development of episode.
