Investigations were carried out on persons subjected to the local action of x rays for the treatment of various diseases. At the time of the electroencephalographic recording the author performed tactile irritation of different areas or the body before and after the irradiation. Immediately following the irradiation there could be registered a change in the reaction of the cerebral cortex to tactile irradiation of the irradiated area. This testifies to the presence of changes in the peripheral neuroreceptor apparatuses of those areas of the body which were subjected to the direct action of the radiation factor. The change of the functional state of the central nervous system associated with the effect of local irradiation is also testified by the fact, that the reaction to tactile irritation or regions remote from the site of the irradiation changes, although to a considerably lesser degree.
