Differential effects of drug-induced ascorbic acid release in the striatum and nucleus accumbens of freely moving rats.

abstract：:Mental activity which engages one half of the brain is usually accompanied by a suppression of alpha rhythm that is greater over the active hemisphere. When the left hemisphere is active, as during mental arithmetic, the magnitude of the asymmetry in the alpha rhythm is proportional to the rate at which subjects perfo...
