[EEG dynamics during conditioning in symmetrical neocortical regions in dogs].

Changes in the frequency of the EEG recorded in symmetrical areas of the frontal and auditory cortices were studied during food conditioning in four dogs. Spectral-correlation analysis was applied. EEG frequency changes depended on individual features of the animals, frequency band, and stage of conditioning. In the beta-2-range, the EEG frequency increased in comparison to the initial values in all the dogs. In three dogs, the EEG frequency in the beta range decreased in the frontal and increased in the auditory cortex. Heterodirectional frequency changes led to the development of the functional interhemispheric EEG asymmetry that was partial and dynamic. At the initial stages of conditioning higher activity was in the left hemisphere, later on asymmetry was absent (or activity of the right hemisphere predominated).
