Conclusions
-
1.
A reliable increase in the amplitude of the evoked potential of the midbrain reticular formation to flashes of light was brought about during the formation of a dominant focus in the RF by multiple stimulation of the RF with an electrical current.
-
2.
The existence of a dominant focus in a latent form was confirmed by the reliable increase in the amplitude of the evoked potential of the midbrain reticular formation after multiple stimulation of the RF.
