[Effect of special training for loads acting in the thorax-spine direction on the vessels of the endbrain].

The work was performed in 42 male rabbits which were trained for gravitation stress in a centrifuge of 2 m diameter according to two special schedules. The vascular system of the brain was injected with staining substances and studied in cleared sections. The training was established to increase the animal's resistance to stress of transversal direction and to result in adaptation of the vessels of the terminal brain to stress. Morphological changes under these conditions were not great. Of the two schedules the first one (without a preliminary "limbering" rotation) was more favourable. Four weeks after the cessation of the training cycle the animal's resistance to gravitation stress became considerably less.
