[Experimental evidence for simultaneous existence of two dominantas in the central nervous system]
Abstract:
For the first time a possibility of simultaneous existence of two dominants was demonstrated: the polarization in the cortical representation of the forelimb and the dominanta of hunger. The two foci of stable excitation were created at the subthreshold level. A sound stimulus simultaneously produced a movement of the forelimb and a gulp. Manifestation of the two dominantas could be observed over the course of the experiment (about 1 h).

Functional Divisions of the Nervous System
The sensory division transmits information from sensory receptors in the body to the CNS. It provides the CNS with knowledge about somatic senses (such as tactile, thermal, pain, and proprioceptive sensations)...
Organization of the Nervous System
The CNS, comprising the brain and spinal cord, houses billions of neurons. The brain is housed in the skull, while the spinal cord is linked to the brain through the foramen magnum of the occipital bone and is surrounded by the protective structure of the vertebral column. It is responsible for processing various...

Propagation of Action Potentials
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...
