Tm. Efremova et al., THE DYNAMICS OF CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH-F REQUENCY EEG CHAOTIC COMPONENT IN THE RABBIT DURING THE ORIENTING REFLEX REALIZATION AND EXTINCTION, Zurnal vyssej nervnoj deatelnosti im. I.P. Pavlova, 43(5), 1993, pp. 899-907
The chaotic component of the high-frequency EEG of the rabbit was stud
ied during repeated presentation of non-rhythmical light stimuli. The
chaotic component was found to be sensitive to the action of these sti
muli, its reactions being variant in different cortical areas. Dimensi
on changes were revealed corresponding to a manifestation of the phasi
c and tonic components of the orienting reaction. In the course of ori
enting reflex extinction the chaotic component characteristics changed
in correspondence with the activation level shifts in the cortical ar
eas under study.
