Abstract

Portions of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) withdrawn from cats operated upon for unilateral removal of the motor neocortex were exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and then returned to the cats to evaluate the effects of irradiation on the recovery of voluntary movements by the affected limb and the activity of CSF peptide and protein neurohumoral factors during the postoperative period. The exposure of CSF to UV radiation substantially accelerated compensatory processes (the recovery of motor functions) in the animals and activated the biosynthesis of neurohumoral factors.
