A study was made of the character of disorders of glycogen metabolism and dynamics of the glycogen synthetic properties of sensorimotor cortical neurons at different stages of dystrophic processes under chronic irritation of the anterior cervical ganglion. The authors demonstrate the local glycogen synthesis in synapse ultrastructures, which is of paramount importance for local homeostasis, ensuring high plasticity and dynamism of cortical synapses in information transmission. Decimetric radiotherapy revealed that the sclerosed sympathetic ganglion exerts a permanent tonic effect on the regulation of intracerebral vessels. It may be assumed that control of sympathetic fibers from the cervical ganglion is aimed to a definite measure at specialized regulation of energy brain supply.
