In the present investigations, acute and chronic effects of electric shock on several enzymes of the brain of guinea-pigs were observed histochemically. Phosphatases were stained with GOMORI-TAKAMATSU's method as modified by SUIMIZU-ARIZONO, 5-nucleotidase with the GOMORI technique, adenosine triphosphatase with PADYKULA-HERMAN's method, and succinic dehydrogenase with the SELIGMAN-RUTENBURG's method as modified by ROSA-VELARDO.
As acute effects of electric shock, the neocortex showed a slightly decreased activity for alkaline phosphatase, 5-nucleotidase and succinic dehydrogenase especially in the lamina zonalis, whereas acid phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase caused no changes. Chronic effects of electric shock were a slightly increased activity of alkaline phosphatase and 5-nucleotidase in the neocortex, and moderately intensified succinic dehydrogenase activity in the neocortex, basal ganglia and cerebellar cortex.
