[The effect of vibration on the electrocorticographic shifts during the switching off of specific and nonspecific afferent systems of the brain].

Electrocorticograms of vibration induced effects were studied in intact and labyrinthectomized rabbits under midbrain reticular formation and renoreactive structures blockade. There was involvement of the specific (vestibular) and non-specific brain structures in the mechanisms underlying the cortex' electric activity. The article contains a review of the vibration-related shifts in the cortex, both specific and nonspecific--and in other afferent modalities (proprioceptive, somatic, visceral).
