[The activity of cytochrome oxidase in the normal cerebral cortex and after destructive and irritating lesions. Histochemical research].
Production of an epileptogenic focus by cobalt-gelatin implantation in the cerebral cortex of the rat determines a local increase of cytochrome oxidase activity in neurones and probably a decrease of its activity in neuroglia. This variation of oxidative metabolism is not characteristic of the "epileptic neuron" since it takes also place after non irritative lesions, though remaining less conspicuous and less extensive.
