Conclusions
-
1.
In patients with diencephalic adiposity the administration of L-dopa causes an increase in the index of the 6-rhythm in the anterior leads as compared to the initial recording, although the periods of the detection of this increase differed in different patients.
-
2.
An analysis of the EEG of patients with Itsenko-Cushing's disease did not reveal changes in the nature of the recording during the test with L-dopa as compared to the back-ground recording.
