Key result
Experimental electric shock in monkeys lacks reported results for CNS histologic changes.
Why the study?
Does experimental electric shock produce histologic changes in the central nervous system in monkeys?
Population
6 male monkeys (Macaca mulatta), weighing 8 to 10 pounds (3.6 to 4.5 Kg)
Comparison
Electric shock similar to human electric… vs Control monkey (no shock)
Design
Preclinical

Incomplete reporting precludes conclusions on CNS effects of electric shock in monkeys; leaves open questions for future preclinical research.
Does experimental electric shock produce histologic changes in the central nervous system in monkeys?
This preclinical study aimed to determine if electric shock therapy produces histologic changes in the central nervous system of monkeys.
Robert G. Siekert (1950) studied this question. Experimental electric shock vs. No electric shock was evaluated on Histologic changes in the central nervous system. Experimental electric shock was administered to monkeys to evaluate histologic changes in the central nervous system, but the abstract is truncated and does not report the results.
