Neurophysiology Aims and scope

Abstract

We analyzed the background impulse activity (BIA) generated by neurons of the rat hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus in the norm and under conditions of long-lasting vibrational stimulation (exposure 5, 10, or 15 days). Distributions of neurons by the level of regularity, dynamics of discharge trains, form of histograms of interspike intervals (ISIs), as well as distributions of neurons by the BIA frequency ranges, were studied. We also calculated the mean frequency of impulsation of the neurons under study and the coefficient of variation of ISIs. After vibrational influences, we found modifications of both the internal structure of the recorded spike trains and the mean frequency of impulsation within the entire studied group and different frequency subgroups.
