Abstract: | In a group including 72 adults of both sexes, we studied correlations between the estimates of the so-called coronary-prone
personality type (type A) diagnosed using the Jenkins questionnaire and the spectral powers (SPs) of the frequency components
(rhythms) of background EEGs recorded in the resting state (leads C3 and C4 according to the 10-20 system). Despite natural
high interindividual variability, estimates that characterized the subject as belonging to the behavioral type A corresponded,
on average, to relatively low SPs of the δ, θ, and α EEG components, intermediate values of the β1 rhythm SP and coefficient of reactivity of the α rhythm, and higher SPs of the high-frequency (β2 and γ) rhythms. Estimates characterizing type B personality corresponded to significantly higher δ-rhythm SPs, intermediate
SPs of the θ and α rhythms, and smaller SPs of the β and γ rhythms. The interhemisphere asymmetry coefficient for the α rhythm
was usually negative in type-A individuals and positive in the cases of types B and AB. The peculiarities observed are probably
determined, to a certain extent, by the fact that both the characteristics of the behavioral types of the personality and
the amplitude parameters of EEG rhythms depend significantly on inherited (in particular neurochemical) factors. Such peculiarities
of the neurodynamic constitution of the individual are determined, to a considerable extent, by the specificity of organization
and functioning of a few neurotransmitter (in particular aminergic) and neurohumoral systems. |
