Creation of a defense dominant during the functioning of a blink dominant in the rabbit
1Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow.
Abstract:
The possibility of creating (through serial electrodermal stimulation of the limb) a defense dominant during, the formation and functioning of a blink dominant was investigated in chronic experiments in rabbits. The formation of a motor dominant against the background of a blink dominant was difficult. Sequential, but not simultaneous, manifestation of the dominants under investigation was observed when the motor defense dominant was created against the background of a formed blink dominant. Difficulty in the formation of the motor dominant was also observed in the presence of transition to an inhibitory state, as a result of the repeated summation of the initial dominant focus, created via the reflex route, and in the presence of induction activation of a secondary dominant focus in symmetrical structures.
