Perceptual learning with right unilateral versus bilateral electroconvulsive therapy.

摘要: Perceptual learning was examined with respect to variations in ECT electrode placement (bilateral versus right unilateral) and stimulus waveform (sinusoidal brief-pulse). While patients receiving unilateral demonstrated more perceptual than did those bilateral ECT, no difference resulted from the variation electrical waveform. Furthermore, amount of unaffected by EEG seizure duration total energy delivered. The theoretical issue whether an or a between is responsible for inter-group memory differences discussed, as well practical issues related choice placement.
