[Effect of corazole on the dynamics of oxidative-reductive processes in cerebral cortical neurons].

By using the complex of techniques on the basis of life-time microscopy and spectrophotometry of the structures of II, III layers of the cat brain motor cortex there was studied the effect of ionophoretically delivered corazole on the dynamics of integral redox-state of pyramidal cells bodies, the surrounding neuropil as compared to the changed bioelectrical activity. The development of the convulsant activity of neurons coincided with the shift of their redox-state towards the accumulation of intracellular reducing equivalents. Both in the bodies of neurons and in the structures of neuropil a stable pronounced increase of restoration of intracellular redox-systems was preceded by the process of wave-like fluctuating changes in the content of reducing equivalents. The role of the revealed disturbances of oxidation-reduction processes in the mechanisms of corazole-induced lesions of neurons is discussed.
