The paper is concerned with a study of the stem structures in 186 patients during and following a removal of brain tumors and in 42 patients with acute brain traumas. A correlation of the EEG, the clinical picture and action of the central adreno- and cholinolytics and adrenomimetics demonstrated that in acute influences on the stem it is always in an irritative state. A significant degree of stem structures irritation during its direct affection is accompanied by an appearance in the EEG of synchronized low forms of fluctuations and clinical symptoms of vegetative hyperergia. In such conditions, besides measures of normalizing the hemodynamics and CSF circulation it is necessary to use preparations of a central adreno- and cholinolytic action.
