The Dominant Focus

The structure of cortical-subcortical relationships between electrical processes of the brain during a motor polarization dominant

“…In conditions of an optimal dominant, interstimulus intervals showed asymmetry in delta-range coherence in the electrical activity of the sensorimotor cortex and the ventrolaterai nucleus of the thalamus and field CA3 of the hippocampus of the "dominant" and "non-dominant" halves of the brain, which was increased in response to sound stimuli. Asymmetry in the alpha and beta ranges of coherence spectra for the electrical activity of the areas studied, coinciding with the performance of a motor "dominant" response, was associated with the processes involved in organizing the movement.The problem of detecting intercenter, intracortical and cortical-subcortical relationships between electrical processes, like the principles, properties, and sequence of inclusion of structures in the operating constellation of centers during the formation of temporary connections, is currently of interest in the physiology of higher nervous activity.The present study of cortical-subcortical interactions during formation of a temporary connection was based on the use of a model of motor polarization dominant, as proposed and developed by Rusinov [13,15,16].Studies of the electrical activity of the cortex and subcortical brain structures during a motor polarization dominant created by application of an anodic direct current to the sensorimotor region of the brain were conducted over a long period of time by Rusinov, using a variety of methods, such as recording EEG traces, 1Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. evoked potentials, and neuron activity [4][5][6][7][8].…”

The use of micropolarization in the treatment of spinal cord lesions

“…The basis for the utilization of micropolarization as an optimized therapeutic method in spinal cord lesions is provided by results obtained by Rusinov [9] and Vartanyan et al [5]. These authors showed that weak direct currents change the excitability and spike activity of nerve cells in the brain and that the extent of these changes depends on their initial functional state.…”

Verbal conditioning and extinction of the GSR index of the orienting reflex

“…Verbal extinction can also be obtained. However, some investigators claim that they have obtained evidence of unmediated GSR conditioning using a verbal extinction procedure (Bridger & Mandel, 1964Mandel & Bridger, 1967, 1973. They hypothesize that the conditioned GSR induced by a highly noxious UCS consists of two components, one dependent upon cognitive expectancies, or mediated, and the other not dependent upon cognitive expectancies or contrary to such expectancies, and therefore unmediated (Mandel & Bridger, 1973).…”
