Abstract A single transcranial electrostimulation of rats results, as does acute stress, in a fourfold elevation of plasma corticosterone, whereas after a course of several electrostimulations plasma corticosterone is not elevated and a threefold rise in plasma β-endorphin is recorded. Rats that undergoing a course of transcranial electrostimulations and then subjected to an immobilization stress do not show any rise in plasma corticosterone.
