title: [The relaxation principle in generalized convulsion (author's transl)].
abstract: According to the relaxation principle (Selbach) a phase of vagotropic preponderance is preceding to a generalized convulsion and is immediately overcome during convulsion by an increased sympathicus tonus. Conditions of generalized convulsions recently observed by animal experiments, such as high exspiratory neuronal activity and apnea a short time before the fit, and during the fit an increase of inspiratory and reticular neuronal activity as also an increased activity of the renal sympathicus, are thus attached to this two-phase-reaction.
