en اثر قبل از درمان p-CPA روی قدرت EEG در زخم‌های مغز باز موش‌های صحرایی مقاله کامل Full Length/Original Article <font face="times new roman,times,serif">Continuous four hours EEG (electroencephalogram) recordings and its power spectrum analysis using fast fourier transform (FFT) in urethane anesthetized male Charles Foster rats were performed in two groups: open brain injury and p-CPA (para-Chlorophenylalanine) pretreated before brain injury, respectively, and compared with the EEG power spectrum of control rats. The EEG power spectrum analysis showed that there was a faster recovery in p-CPA pretreated group than the injury group of rats. The results showed that the p-CPA (a 5-HT inhibitor) prevents pathological changes following brain injury. Simultaneously, the inference can also be drawn that EEG power spectrum analysis is a useful technique for monitoring the brain injury and its recovery following pharmacological treatments </font> Brain injury, p-CPA, EEG power spectrum 119 126 http://ibj.pasteur.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-267&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Rakesh Kumar Sinha Rakesh Kumar Sinha rksinha_res@rediffmail.com Yes Amit Kumar Ray Amit Kumar Ray No
