The Functional State of the Brain during Sonic Stimulation

  • Chapter
Physiological Effects of Noise

Abstract

Audiogenic epilepsy of rodents is a striking example of the pathogenic action of strong sounds on a living organism. The ascertainment of the physiological mechanisms of this reaction, and above all of the protective brain mechanisms which prevent or weaken it, is of great significance for the elaboration of measures aimed at struggling against the noxious influence of noises on the human organism.
