title: The dynamic of thermal fields of the brain of rats in the late post-resuscitation period under stress.
abstract: The temperature topography of the cerebral cortex of rats following clinical death and resuscitation was investigated with the technique of thermoencephaloscopy. Complete restoration of the neurological status of the animals was achieved over the course of one to two days. Marked disturbances in the background thermal maps and the thermal reactions of the cerebral hemispheres induced by a stressor were identified in the remote post-resuscitation period (up to two months). A pathological mosaicism of the thermal characteristics was detected under the conditions of relative rest, as were disturbances in the dynamics of the temperature reactions of the brain and in the character of the interhemispheric asymmetries under stress. The individual character of the post-resuscitation pathology which is found both in the baseline thermal maps as well as following a functional load is emphasized. The results of the investigation point to the importance of an individual approach in the rehabilitation therapy of the post-resuscitation illness.
