Influence of bee pollen on the state of the central nervous system of white laboratory rats is studied. The behavioural reactions were estimated in „an opened field”. The bioelectric activity recording was conducted on frontoparietal cortex, dorsal hippocampus and hypothalamus with the standard electro-physiology equipment. It is shown that bee pollen results in the increase of absolute indices of constituents of brain electric activity, in the reduction of the part of slow low-frequency and in the increase of power of fast high-frequency components. It becomes apparent as a rise in the spontaneous motive activity and development of orientative-trying strategy of behaviour, which specifies on favourable influence of this preparation on CNS.
