Abstract
The amnesic and convulsive effects of experimental cerebral concussion were observed in rats. Marked convulsions were associated with only partial retrograde amnesia in one trial passive avoidance when the head injury was given less than 7 seconds after learning the task. These results are compared with the complete retrograde amnesia associated with a lesser severity of convulsions produced by electroconvulsive shock in rats under identical learning situations.Keywords
