This study investigated the effects of posttrial electrical stimulation of the entorhinal cortex in rats (3 mA or 300 μA; 60 sec, 3 hr or 6 hr after training) on retention of inhibitory or active avoidance responses. In the inhibitory avoidance task 3 mA, but not 300 μA, 60 sec after training produced retrograde amnesia. The 300 μA stimulation produced amnesia when given 3 hr after training, but 3 mA was without effect. Neither level of stimulation affected retention if given 6 hr after training. In the active avoidance task 300 μA given 60 sec and 3 hr after training significantly facilitated acquisition in comparison with unoperated, but not operated control rats. The 3 mA stimulation had no effect in the active avoidance task. Cortical afterdischarge activity occurred 64%, 23%, and 77% of the time when the 300 μA stimulation was given 60 sec, 3 hr, or 6 hr after inhibitory avoidance training, and 54%, 69%, and 92% for 3 mA. In the two conditions where amnesia was observed (3 mA at 60 sec and 300 μA at 3 hr) the lowest proportion of animals exhibited afterdischarge activity. Afterdischarge activity was not related to active avoidance performance.
