[Biological and electroencephalographic parameters in rats in relation to Passiflora incarnata L].
In this paper we have studied the rat under chronic treatment with Passiflora oral. For a three week period we have recorded, once a week, weight, rectal temperature, tail flick, motor coordination and general activity in a one-arm radial maze. At the end of the third week surface (SEEG) and deep (DEEG) EEG were recorded from treated animals. The findings are: 1) no change was observed in weight, rectal temperature, tail-flick and motor coordination. 2) The treated rats, when in a one-arm radial maze showed a diminished general activity. 3) SEEG and DEEG recordings showed "normal" electric activity.
