Introduction.

Cognitive deficit is a consequence of organic lesions of the central nervous system. Activation of neuroplasticity is a way of effective treatment. There is a suppose that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) involves in the regulation of neuroplasticity.

Objectives.

We developed a technology for non-invasive electrical stimulate segmental and suprasegmental parts of ANS [1].

Methods.

Developed technology is implemented in the “SYMPATHOCOR–01” device. The device produces spatially distributed field of current pulses between two multiple electrodes located on the neck. The targets of impact are cervical ganglia of the sympathetic trunk and vagus nerve.

Results.

The restoration of blood supply in artificial ischemia calf muscles and recovery of behavior patterns during acute phase of the adjustment disorder were received as a result of application technology in experiments on rats [2]. An increase global neurometabolic activity on SPECT was shown in clinical studies [2]. Application device for two weeks in children with ADHD led to reduction of inattention and hyperactivity symptoms [2].

Conclusion.

We suggest that the demonstrated clinical effects are the results of activate of neuroplasticity by impact on ANS structures. It is necessary to conduct fundamental studies by means of neurovisualization methods (fMRI, PET) for the confirmation action of these mechanisms.
