[Effect of an inhibitor of serotonin synthesis--para-chlorophenylalanine on the structure of primary sleep in the frog Rana temporaria].
On the basis of statistical analysis of the EEG of the forebrain in frogs, new data have been obtained concerning neurophysiological nature of the resting forms of the primary sleep. It was found that natural rest occurring with the increase in the rigid muscle tonue (P-2) is identical to the condition which results from injections of parachlorphenylalanine, an inhibitor of serotonin synthesis. New data were obtained showing participation of the posterior hypothalamus in regulation of one of the resting forms of the primary sleep (P-2). Possible homology of the rest of catatonic type (P-2) and anabiosis of frogs is discussed.
