[Carbon dioxide gas provoking and stopping an epileptic seizure].
The author discusses some mechanisms, conditioning the double role of carbon dioxide in the genesis of epileptical activity, first as a provocative factor, when carbon dioxide is a background against which the epileptical seizure appears and then as arresting the sequalae during the administration of CO2 during a seizure. It was demonstrated that the different action of CO2 was due to different phases in the changed functional state of the brain. The study was accomplished on 80 rabbits of the chenchille breed. The evalution of phases in changes of the functional state of the brain was performed with the aid of the encephalographic method.
