History of the study of the level of constant potential of the brain

SCP is one of the oldest, if not “ancient” electrophysiological indicators. As early as 1827, L. Nobile described the so-called “frog current”, which spread from the limbs to the head. In humans, the direction of such currents

Analysis of the origin of SCP when registering electrical activity from the brain

According to experimental data obtained on animals, the surface of the cortex is positively charged (1.5 – 20 mV) with respect to the electrically indifferent points, for which skull bones were most often chosen . In adult rats, the SCP

The role of the blood-brain barrier in the generation of a constant brain potential level

Let us turn to the consideration of those experiments in which the AMR arising on the BBB is studied. Anatomically, the BBB is a complex of capillary endothelial cells with their basement membrane and an adjacent

Potentials of vascular origin

To complete the picture, we consider the potentials of vascular origin, which can contribute to the magnitude of SCP. Partially, we touched on this issue when considering the potential of the BBB. The potential difference arises not

The form of distribution of SCP over the surface of the head

An important issue is the correspondence of the topographic distribution of SCP on the scalp and the surface of the brain. Currently, there are ideas that the veins on the surface of the hemispheres and the diploic

Types of Constant Potentials

Constant potentials differ depending on whether they are detected by polarizable or non-polarizable electrodes. In the first case, the true difference of electric potentials between any regions is recorded, and in the second, the potentials of
