   • 1965, Experimental Epilepsy, Elsevier, →ISBN, page 170:

     The injection of the relaxant myocaine (glycerol ester of guaiacol) before an electroshock prevents the dysfunction of carbohydrate metabolism, restricts the splitting of phosphocreatine after cardiazol and picrotoxin, and after electroshock and amidopyrine it facilitates phosphocreatine synthesis (Mison-Crighel, 1957). Similarly, alkaline phosphatases no longer decrease after an electroshock if myocaine has previously been injected (Appel et al., 1957).

     The associations between valence feature codes and tactile codes are assumed, reflecting that the model already 'knows' that an electroshock is inherently experienced as unpleasant.

     Test mice were injected i.vt. with 95 mM taurine in a volume of 2 μ1,3 min prior to an electroshock (50 mA for 0.2 sec). The dose of taurine was chosen from our previous data on the suppressive action of the sulfur amino acid [...]. Control animals were injected with [...] phosphate buffered saline solution in an identical volume and 3 min later received the electroshock. All solutions injected i.vt.
