[Clinico-electrophysiologic studies of experimental herpetic encephalitis]. / Kliniko-élektrofiziologicheskie issledovaniia éksperimental'nogo gerpeticheskogo éntsefalita

Studies on animals demonstrated that in experimental herpetic encephalitis there is a diffuse retardation of background bioelectric brain activity and a proxysmal activity of 2 types: peek complex-slow waves 3 per 1 sec. and periodical paroxysmal complexes. There is also an increase of latent periods, duration and amplitudes of visual evoked potentials. Electrophysiological data correlate with the clinical picture of herpetic encephalitis and pathomorphological changes in the CNS. The obtained data are discussed with consideration bor the theory of neuron epileptization and hemodynamical disturbances.

[Characteristics of cerebral electrical activity in rabbits with experimental herpetic encephalitis]. / Kharakteristika élektricheskoi aktivnosti mozga krolikov s éksperimental'nym gerpeticheskin éntsefalitom

Examinations carried out on 33 rabbits with an experimental herpetic encpehalitis showed changes in the electrical activity of the brain correlating with the clinical picture of the disease. A diffus slowing down of the biopotentials and paroxysmal activity of two types--the paroxysmal periodic complexes and the complexes 'spike +the paroxysmal 3/sec' was revealed during the acute period of encephalitis.
