Theta rhythm: a temporal correlate of memory storage processes in the rat
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|January 7, 1972
Abstract:
We examined the amount of theta rhythm (4 to 9 hertz) in cortical electroencephalograms of rats for 30 minutes after training in one-trial tasks. Some animals received electroconvulsive shock after training. The amount of theta in the electroencephalogram after training was positively correlated with the degree of subsequent retention of a footshock, whether animals had received electroconvulsive shock or not.
