[Multiple recording of electromyograms in a chronic experiment]. / Mnozhestvennaia registratsiia élektromiogramm v khronicheskom éksperimente.

The authors describe electromyographic electrodes (EMG electrodes) for recording the activity of several muscles in chronic experiments on cats. An EMG electrode is a loop made of a silver wire 200 micron in diameter and 1.5-2 cm long, to which a flexible copper wire insulated with teflon 300 micron in diameter is soldered. The soldering site is insulated with biologically indifferent material. The EMG electrodes turned out fairly good in numerous experiments.

[Commissural mechanisms of restoring visual functions]. / Komissural'nye mekhanizmy vosstanovleniia zritel'nykh funktsii.

The perimetric studies were carried out in adult cats with reduced classical and commissural visual pathways. The data obtained indicate substantial recovery of the temporal visual fields in cats with unilateral optic tract transection during one year after operation. The animals with combined optic tract and cerebral commissural transection did not demonstrate any remarkable restitution of visual fields. These findings allow the conclusion about the primary role of cerebral commissures in the compensatory mechanisms of visual functions after visual tract injury.
