THE EFFECT OF INCORPORATED RADIOACTIVE IRON ON THE BIOELECTRIC ACTIVITY OF THE CORTEX OF THE LARGE HEMISPHERES OF RABBITS UNDER PROLONGED EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS (in Russian)
Electroencephalographic examinations were made of rabbits that were treated daily with Fe/sup 59/Cl/sub 3/ at a rate of 10 mu C/kg of body weight for a period of 3 months; the control animals were treated with stable Fe salt. The bioelectric potentials were recorded by means of a 4-channel symmetric analyzer, connected to a recording oscillograph, by keeping the animals in a dark room and using a rhythmic photostimulation ranging from 2 to 20 flashes per second. No difference was noted between the treated and the control animals in the response of this stimulation in the occipitoparietal region of the cortex. After 3 to 5 weeks of treatment with Fe/sup 59/ the rhythm signals were broadened at the right side; an added-on rhythm appeared at frequencies up to 15 flashes per second and an electroencephalographic signal was noted in the sensomotor region of the cortex. The added-on signal was unstable. (TTT)
