Abstract

The asymmetry of dermal electric potentials and impedance is evaluated in humans before and after long-distance transmeridional airplane flights involving abrupt changes in environmental conditions and work and rest schedules. It is found that temporal variations of asymmetry of these parameters are phasal, occur during adaptation to new environment, and reflect the regulatory role of the central nervous system.
