  • Title: [The thermal activity of the rabbit brain during the interaction of "animal hypnosis" and of the hunger dominant].
    Author: Malikova AK, Petrova EV.
    Journal: Zh Vyssh Nerv Deiat Im I P Pavlova; 1999; 49(4):635-44. PubMed ID: 10512025.
    Abstract:
    The character of interaction between two dominant foci (motivation hunger dominant and "animal hypnosis") which had been formed in the rabbit brain was ambiguous: the foci could either function simultaneously or compete. In the first case, summation food reactions were observed when the hunger dominant was tested during a hypnotic episode against the background of deep and continuous hypnotic state. Brain thermal activity was asymmetric the temperature being higher in the parieto-occipital areas of the left hemisphere. If the hypnosis inhibited the hunger dominant, summation reactions were absent and the brain temperature was higher in the parieto-occipital areas of the right hemisphere. In cases when despite the repeated immobilization sessions the hunger dominant prevented from induction of hypnosis, the left-hemisphere thermal dominance persisted against the background of general brain cooling.
