Abstract

Transcranial stimulation using weak electric current with rigidly fixed parameters is shown to prolong the time during which BALB/c and CBA/Lac mice are capable of swimming with a weight attached to their body and to accelerate their recovery after submaximal exercise. The increase in working capacity is blocked by the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone. The use of transcranial electrostimulation to augment adaptive capabilities of the body is discussed.
