[Spatial organization of EEG in rats with genetically determined emotionality].
In order to study the possibility of EEG discrimination of genetically determined emotionality (increased propensity to emotional and stress reactions and anxiety) brain electrical activity was recorded in rats of two strains: Maudsley Reactive and Maudsley Nonreactive (24 derivations from the convexital skull surface were used). The program package "Synchro-EEG" was used for EEG processing. It was demonstrated that the two rat strains were significantly different in 120 EEG parameters of 840 ones analyzed. On the basis of 37 parameters, each rat was correctly recognized as belonging to the respective group with the error of 4.89%. The analysis of the detected signs allowed their classification to be performed in accordance with the peculiarities of the emotional and cognitive processes and the level of nonspecific activation. Specific forms of interaction between these components in the system of emotional reactions were revealed.
