  • Abstract
    Peculiarities of neurostimulation organization by a multi-electrode system are considered. The system forms the spatially distributed field of current pulses that impact the nerve centers of the neck. An example is given for technical implementation of such a system in device SYMPATHOCOR and the method of its application: the dynamic correction of activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Results of its clinic application to treating the children with the attention deficit syndrome are given. It is shown that taking into account pathophysiological peculiarities of such a syndrome, it could be considered as a general model of cognitive impairments.
