Abstract
The dynamics of the fundamental nervous processes of the cortical and subcortical centers were studied during mud applications to the skin surface. The method of encephalography was employed. Series experiments were conducted on 4 dogs with implanted electrodes. An initial short increase in electric activity was noted. In 5 minutes after the application of medicinal mud from Karasor lake such increase in electric activity was revealed in the cortex of fronto-parietal area, as well as in the hypothalamus in the form of increased frequency and amplitude of electric potentials. Conttary to this in 30 minutes after mud application the frequency and amplitude of rapid oscillations was decreased, while slow waves with large amplitude appeared. the electric activity of the brain returned to the initial stage in 2 hours after removal of mud applications. These investigations prove the prevalence of inhibitory processes over excitation in the central nervous system at the time when mud is applied to the skin surface.
