Specific features of slow brain electrical activity in eliminators of the Chernobyl' accident effects

We studied the slow electrical activity of the brain in people subjected to irradiation as a result of the Chernobyl accident and in healthy donors. T he mean constant potential, which is an index of energy metabolism in diffe rent regions of the cerebral cortex, is reliably lower in eliminators, as c ompared to the donors, thus suggesting a postradiation energy deficiency of the brain. The structure of correlations between the constant potential in dices is different: the number of significant correlations in the group of eliminators is lower by 30% than in the group of donors, thus suggesting di sturbed intercentral relations in the CNS under the conditions of postradia tion energy deficiency of the brain.
