Central Nervous System Profiling of Hericium erinaceus Biomass Powder by an Electropharmacogram Using Spectral Field Power in Conscious Freely Moving Rats

Abstract

Changes of field potentials recorded from implanted electrodes into the depth of the brain of rats served to analyse the action of plant-derived extracts in comparison to food supplements and reference drugs. Frequency analysis of the data and feeding of the results into discriminant analysis allowed indication dependent classification of the effects. The present investigation aimed at the neuro-physiological characterization of the effect of a preparation of Hericium erinaceus in this model.
