Abstract
The correlation coefficients among four different measures of seizure duration (motor activity, EEG spikes, EEG total, tachycardia) were substantially lower with unilateral than bilateral ECT. This suggests that unilateral ECT is less well generalized through the brain than bilateral ECT.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
