| Abstract | There are some reports dealing with the changes in various electrical activities of cerebral cortex, such as EEG, dendritic potential, evoked potential and spreading depression, associated with the steady potential shift in the cortical surface (1, 3, 7, 11, 12, 13). It has been well known that some of these cortical activities always show peculiar changes in accordance with the sleep or awake state. In other words, these changes indicate the level of consciousness to some extent. On the other hand, similar changes can be produced experimentally by various means, such as application of DC to the cortical surface (7, 11), repetitive stimulation of the brainstem (4, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17), peripheral or cortical surface stimulation and the topical application of various substances to the cortex as well, accompanying the steady potential shift in the cortical surface. Most of these investigations were carried out with the intention of revealing the mechanism of these cortical activities. In the present paper, however, the discussion on the mechanism of those cortical activities was left out of consideration, but the results of experiments were reported on the effects of DC application and of repetitive stimulation of lower reticular formation upon these cortical activities, and some consideration will be given to the relationship between them. |
