Experimental paradigm for the rapid amygdala kindling and behavioral tests. The afterdischarge (AD) threshold of amygdala kindlings (open arrow) is measured after 1 week adaptation for the recording apparatus. During the rapid kindling process, 20 amygdala stimulations (downward arrows) are performed in the kindle group. The control group has same setups as the kindle group but receives no stimulation. Five days later, the kindle group receives a kindling retest (▾), and the control group has similar setting but no stimulation. All rats perform the elevated plus maze (EPM) test or open field (OF) test 60 min after the retest stimulation. Thirty minutes later, the sucrose consumption (SC) test are carried out for 5 days. One day later, the forced swimming (FS) test is practiced for 10 min. Next day, a 5-min testing is performed.
