Abstract

Studies were carried out on the effects of stimulation of the medial geniculate body on the course and recovery of a cortical motor polarization dominant created in the sensorimotor cortex of the right hemisphere in rabbits. Stimulation of the medial geniculate body, on a background of an optimum dominant, elicited a movement response of the "dominant" limb. Spectral-coherent analysis of the electrical activity of the sensorimotor cortex and medial geniculate body showed that stimulation produced changes characteristic of the dominant state in the power spectra of the total activity of these structures of the right "dominant" half of the brain, as well as in the coherence spectra.
