Abstract
The EEG and the behavior of actively sensitized animals were compared during the anaphylactic reaction provoked with low, intraperitoneal shock doses of either horse serum or recrystallized egg albumin. It was found that the recording of the electrical cortical activity does not provide a good index of the anaphylactic reaction; however, it has been shown that a group of animals can indeed have severe abnormalities in their EEG when subjected to a challenging dose with only minor signs of behavioral disturbance. The abnormalities in the cortical activity have been interpreted as an isolated partial symptom of the anaphylactic reaction. Another extreme group of animals showed the classical anaphylactic response with only a late effect on the EEG, secondary to the impairment of respiration and the systemic circulation. Other animals occupied an intermediate position or did not respond to the challenge. Further details will be presented elsewhere in the future.¹
