Effects of mesodiencephalic modulation on electrical spike activity in rat small intestine after massive blood loss.

Blood loss-induced ischemia reduced intestinal electrical spike activity and delayed or blocked the migrating myoelectric complex. A single session of mesodiencephalic modulation significantly intensified electrical discharges, stimulated contractions of the small intestine, and restored normal cycles of the migrating myoelectric complex.
