Yv. Lyubimova et al., SPECTRAL-CORRELATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RABB ITS ELECTRICAL BRAIN ACTIVITY AT EXTINCTION OF ENDOGENOUS ALIMENTARY CONDITIONED-RESPONSE, Zurnal vyssej nervnoj deatelnosti im. I.P. Pavlova, 43(4), 1993, pp. 675-682
Spectral analysis of electrical activity showed that at the end of ext
inction of the alimentary conditioned responses, elaborated on the bas
is of the hunger dominant, the spectral density of electrical activity
of the cortical centre of the goal-directed reaction (blinking) of th
e trained eye and that of the lateral preoptic area, lateral hypothala
mus, and ventromedial hypothalamus raised in the delta-band. To the en
d of the extinction the coherence (Cog) of biopotentials of the cortic
al centres of blinking of both eyes. and electrical activity of the ve
ntro-medial hypothalamus and medial preoptic area was changed in diffe
rent directions. After the extinction of the goal-directed reaction Co
g between biopotentials of the lateral hypothalamus and the electrical
activity of the frontal cortex raised in the delta-band and Cog betwe
en the activity of the lateral hypothalamus and that of the cortical c
entres of blinking of both eyes lowered. The level of excitation of th
e structures included in the dominant constellation was suggested to r
aise to the end of the extinction of the endogenous conditioned respon
se.
