The main source of bioelectric processes in the body are cell membranes. The idea of ​​cell membranes as generators of electrical reactions appeared at the beginning of the twentieth and has since developed into a universally recognized scientific

A similar mechanism for the appearance of a potential difference is also observed in the case when solutions of different concentrations with unequal mobility of anions and cations are separated in any way that complicates

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

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

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

The presence of a positive difference in brain potentials with respect to blood of approximately 4 mV and its sensitivity to blood pH have been shown by many researchers in experiments on different types of

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

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

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

To register the SCP of the brain, direct current amplifiers are required, which make it possible to measure the potential difference of the millivolt range and its changes in the time range of a second
