“…118], включающей объединения спай-ков в виде "пачек", что отмечается как в поверхностных, так и глубоких слоях коры [122,123]. Пачечная активность генерируется посредством кон-туров с обратным связями -"neuronal circuits" [118].…”

“…134]. В настоящее время признано, что осуществление когнитивных функций базируется на деятельности именно "neuronal circuits" коры [110,123,126,129]. В связи с этим, по-видимому, следует ожидать дальнейшее развитие исследований действия на мозговую ткань неионизирующей радиации, что связано с по-ниманием межклеточных взаимодействий и дистанционных коммуника-тивных влияний [60-62, 67, 99, 111-115.…”

Impulse Trains Generated by Populations of Cortical Neurons of Rabbits Exposed to Low-Intensity Extrahigh-Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation: Bursting Activity

“…We earlier performed mathematical simulation of relations between the indices of bursting activity and mean values of interspike intervals (ISIs) in background spike trains of cortical neurons [16]. Preliminary data on the effect of EHF irradiation of the used intensity on bursting activity of populations of cortical neurons were related only to the number of bursts and were discussed in other publication [13]. The characteristics of bursting activity were, in particular, analyzed at a dissimilar (greater) intensity of EHF radiation (0.5 to 1.0 mW/mc 2 ) [12].…”

“…As such electrodes, we used glass micropipettes (tip diameter 20 µm) filled with 1% agar based on physiological saline. The technique was described in detail earlier [8,[10][11][12][13]. Experiments were carried out in accordance with the guiding ethical principles of care for and use of laboratory animals proposed by a directive of the Council of European Communities (86/609 EEC).…”

“…In our earlier experiments where we analyzed electrical potentials in different cerebral structures and used a number of surgical operations, we demonstrated that direct action of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of different frequencies, as well as that of magnetic fields (MFs), on cerebral tissues plays a leading role in the genesis of electrical reactions of cerebral structures [1][2][3]. It is obvious that the effects of electromagnetic extrahighfrequency (EHF) radiation should be studied, first of all, at the level of the cerebral cortex, since such radiation cannot significantly influence deeper cerebral structures [4,5].Information on the effects of decimeter-range EHF radiation on the functioning of central neurons of mammals remains rather limited [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]; in some aspects, our studies are pioneering. The history of the problem was described in our earlier publication [14].…”
