Although most laboratories employ transcorneal stimulation as a means of producing electroshock seizures, transauricular stimulation is also used by many investigators. The present study shows that seizures produced with transcorneal electroshock differ from those produced by transauricular electroshock in several ways: transauricular stimulation is more effective at eliciting tonic convulsions; the threshold for clonus is lower when transcorneal electrodes are used; and the face and forelimb clonus produced by transcorneal stimulation cannot be produced with transauricular stimulation at any current. The present findings are consistent with the hypothesis that tonic seizures are more easily triggered with transauricular stimulation because they originate in the brainstem and because this brain region is preferentially activated when ear-clip electrodes are used.
