Abstract

Ginkgo biloba is the oldest tree on the planet. Its healing characteristics have been weel known for more than 3000 years. The aim of this investigation to establish the influence of Ginkgo biloba extract (Egb 761 Tanakan) on bioelectric activity of brain in humans. 30 subjects aged from 52 to 56 years were included in study. The bioelectric activity (EEG) was registrated before and after three month therapy with Ginkgo biloba extract. The obtained results showed that summary bioelectric activity speeds up. Frequency of alpha rhytms increases significantly, number of desinchrayitation desreases, decreases number of non specific activity
