Abstract: Electrical stimulation of inferior colliculus can bring aboutaudiogenic seizures in normal rats. This was proved in a group of 28wistar rats. Through implanted electrodes their inferior colliculi werestimulated with AC current of 50 Hz, 0.1mA. for 1-3 seconds induration once a day. After twenty times of stimulation, the animalswere subjected to auditory test by a bell of 115 dB. 75% of themshowed typical seizures to the sound. This percentage approximates thatof the acoustically primed group.
