Threshold Effects of Toxic Substances on Some Functions of the Central Nervous System
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of production techniques and health engineering is gradually eliminating the dangers from acutely active harmful factors. The study of the reaction of the organism to the chronic action of environmental factors of less intensity is, therefore, becoming one of the central problems in hygiene. This change is also leading to more exact and better hygienic standards. Although the problem is of the utmost importance to industrial toxicology, methods for its solution have not yet received adequate attention from either the practical or theoretical viewpoint.

The basis of acupuncture is still being studied from many different aspects. Some preliminary views include: 1) The analgesic function of acupuncture derives from the clashing of the biochemical lines of acupuncture and those of the pain stimulus in the transmitting processes of the central nervous system, the former overriding the latter. 2) Acupuncture strengthens the cerebral cortex's inhibi...
