Context

  • Using electrodes inserted into the amygdaloid complex in sever epileptics for therapeutic ablation. Stimulation of the area prior to ablation caused elevation in blood pressure (50 mm systolic, 33 mm diastolic) with varied effects on mood. In a few patients increases in heart rate from 20 to 100% were observed. Also compares epileptiform activity as recorded by depth and surface electrodes.
