Abstract
An acute dose of phosalone, intraperitoneally injected to Rana tigrina alters the bioelectrical activity of the brain. The frequency levels of delta, theta, alpha, and beta waves remained similar in both contro l and experimental groups, while the amplitude of the waves was signif icantly decreased by 40 to 60% in the latter group. The total work don e (TWD) was also significantly reduced. The above disturbance in the b rain electrical activity may have correlation to the inhibition of cat ion-linked ATPase, as well as the cholinesterase activity. (C) 1997 El sevier Science Inc.
