    Abstract:
    Results of electrostimulation and destruction of the median centre of the thalamus in 15 patients with parkinsonism and in 7 patients with uncontrollable pain are presented. Reactions of activation and inhibition in the psychoemotional, somatic and vegetosensory spheres in response to the stimulation are described. Data on bioelectrical activity changes in the cortex of the large hemispheres are presented. Special studies of the effect of the median centre destruction on the muscular tone and tremor were carried out. In the akinetic forms of parkinsonism the effect of reactivation after the median centre destruction was found to be of little clinical importance.
