Conclusions

  1. 1.

    When the dominant passes into its formation stage of summation reflex, electrocutaneous stimulation of the limb induces, together with subsequent summation, temporary inhibition of the formation of a dominant focus.

  2. 2.

    The dominant focus, created in the blink center, does not produce conjugate inhibition effects on the local motor defensive reflex.

  3. 3.

    The presence of circulatory interactions between the centers during the formation of a simple form of temporary connection apparently ensures the fixation of the connection established between the centers.
