Abstract
A single transcranial electrostimulation of rats results, as does acut e stress, in a fourfold elevation of plasma corticosterone, whereas af ter a course of several electrostimulations plasma corticosterone is n ot elevated and a threefold rise in plasma beta-endorphin is recorded. Rats that undergoing a course of transcranial electrostimulations and then subjected to an immobilization stress do not show any rise in pl asma corticosterone.
