[Clinico-electrophysiologic research on narcolepsy (an evolutionary-dissolution approach)].

The results of clinical and polygraphic investigation of sleep and wakefulness using spectral analysis and fast Fourier transform of EEG are presented with the data on somatosensory evoked potentials in different brain states of multiply symptomatic narcoleptic patients. Functional insufficiency of thalamocortical unspecific system was revealed. The brainstem-hypothalamic systems of sleep-wakefulness cycle regulation were activated. Evolutional approach was applied to the issues of sleep-wakefulness cycle pathology. The possibility of reflection of evolutional regularities of sleep-wakefulness cycle in multiply symptomatic narcolepsy is discussed.
