[Propagation of a variable potential along the human basal membrane and changes in its constant electric field as a result of laser irradiation of the skin].

It has been shown that due to the effect of helium-neon laser-633 nm a variable potential propagates along the human basal complex. The duration of the signal leading front equals approximately 1 sec, while that of the trailing one approximately 3 sec, the signal amplitude approximately 60 mV. As a result of the depolarization signal propagation the membrane complex is depolarized for a long time approximately (30-60 min). Thus it is shown that the laser ray acts as a damaging agent on the basal complex--the control system of living processes.
