[Influence of convulsive and pre-convulsive components of an audiogenic seizure on the process of consolidation of temporary connections].

In comparing the seizures of different severity in rats an amnestic effect of the convulsive phases of the audiogenic attacks on the short-term (in difference from the long-term) memory and the process of consolidation of temporary associations was revealed. Without behavioristic seizures the audiogenic attacks almost failed to derange the short-term memory. The results obtained confirmed the authors' results obtained earlier on different nature of the convulsive and preconvulsive phases of the motor activity during the audiogenic attack in rats. The preconvulsive phase is regarded only as a peculiar motor aura of the audiogenic attack without any convulsive components.
