GRAVITATIONAL STRESS: CHANGES IN CORTICAL EXCITABILITY.
Evoked responses, recorded from the visual cortex, are enhanced during positive (head to tail) acceleration, and during cerebral hypotension induced by hemorrhage. The phenomenon observed during positive acceleration may therefore be due, at least in part, to its hypotensive effect, but the increased somatic stimulation must also be considered.
