Summary
The EEG of the cortex and the hippocampus has been recorded in rabbits after injection of substance P into the carotis artery. 30 to 100 units of substance P evoced the following effects:
-
1.
The cortical activity showed a decrease in amplitude and an increase in frequency, most pronounced 1–2 min after the injection.
-
2.
The hippocampus activity showed an increase in frequency synchronisation of the previously irregular basic pattern. These changes of electrical activity suggest an influence of substance P on activatingsystems.
