Figure 1.

Representative electrographic recordings from the right basolateral amygdala during self-sustaining status epilepticus (SSSE). A prominent feature of beginning of SSSE on EEG recording was the appearance of high-amplitude (>2×baseline) and high-frequency (>8 Hz) discharges (HAFDs, indicated with solid arrows). The end of HAFD was typically followed by brief (1–3 s) “flat periods” on the EEG (indicated by a star). They were recorded 10 and 30 min (A and B, respectively) after 25-min amygdala stimulation.
