This paper reviews lateralized ultradian rhythms in the nervous system and their unique place in evolutionary development. The rhythmic lateralization of neural activity in paired internal structures and the two sides of the central and autonomic nervous system is discussed as a new view for the temporal and spatial organization of higher vertebrates. These lateralized neural rhythms are integral to the hypothesis of the basic rest-activity cycle. Rhythms of alternating cerebral hemispheric dominance are postulated to be coupled to oscillations of the ergotrophic and trophotrophic states. The nasal cycle is coupled to this cerebral rhythm. This lateralized central and autonomic rhythm is discussed in relationship to ultradian rhythms of neuroendocrine activity, REM and NREM sleep, lateralized rhythms of plasma catecholamines, and other lateralized neural events. The relationship of this phenomenon to stress and adaptation is postulated. The effects of unilateral forced nostril breathing is reviewed as a method to alter cerebral activity, cognition, and other autonomic dependent phenomena.
本文回顾了神经系统中的偏侧化超日节律及其在进化发展中的独特地位。成对内部结构以及中枢和自主神经系统两侧神经活动的节律性偏侧化，被作为高等脊椎动物时间和空间组织的一种新观点进行讨论。这些偏侧化神经节律是基本休息 - 活动周期假说的组成部分。交替性大脑半球优势的节律被假定与营养增进和营养损耗状态的振荡相关联。鼻周期与这种大脑节律相关联。这种偏侧化的中枢和自主节律与神经内分泌活动的超日节律、快速眼动和非快速眼动睡眠、血浆儿茶酚胺的偏侧化节律以及其他偏侧化神经事件的关系进行了讨论。假定了这种现象与应激和适应的关系。单侧强制鼻孔呼吸的效果作为一种改变大脑活动、认知及其他自主相关现象的方法进行了回顾。
