Verigo-Bora Effect

The Verigo–Bohr effect is an effect that was discovered in physiology in the 20th century. The name of this effect was suggested based on the names of two scientists who independently discovered this effect. The effect occurs in organisms that are at rest, when they do not move or

The Verigo-Bohr effect (Verrigo-Bayer evect, potential drift, tonotodic reaction) is one of the main factors determining the minimum time of stable generation of impulses in a neuron. The author of the term is the Soviet evolutionary physiologist Yakov Yakirovich Parnas. The phenomenon was discovered in 1962 on the initiative of Evgeniy Nikolaevich Kessler by biophysicists Konstantin Pavlovich Bolonsky and Valery Ivanovich Boykov (M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University) and experimentally studied by corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Yakov Davydovich Dogadin with MSU students, as well as prof. R. Yu. Nisanov and A. N. Pavlov (Tbilisi). The discovery confirmed theoretical assumptions regarding the mechanisms of delay of the generator potential on the fiber membrane and the possibility of its elimination due to biochemical correction processes caused by the constant release of metabolic products secreted by nervous tissue into the environment. Since its discovery, this effect has been systematically studied in neuro- and gliocytes of growing nerve fibers. The stability of the resting potential is always less likely than its change (especially without active adrenergic influences).
