Description/Abstract Wenger's function test was conducted on 81 healthy persons as well as 17 patients suffering from autonomic imbalance by means of irradiation of the diencephalon, the carotid body, and the spinal cord. Half of the persons irradiated on the diencephalon and the carotid body showed a tendency of vagotony directly after irradiation, but the vagotony disappeared 3 hours after irradiation. The group irradiated on the spinal cord developed mainly vagotony, but a few became sympathicotonic. The recovery took place as above. The changes of the autonomic imbalance caused by the functional irradiation were greatest in the case of the irradiation of the spinal cord, followed by irradiation of the carotid body and the diencephalon. For patients with imbalance, the change was greatest in the irradiation of the carotid body, followed by irradiation of the diencephalon and the spinal cord. The changes of the autonomic balance of patients was greater than those of healthy persons and became smaller after the functional irradiation. (Abstr. Jspan Med., 1: No. 10, 1961) .
