Armadillos were submitted to an experimental condition in which their head and thorax were covered by a layer of soil 30 cm high. In this condition the electrical activity of the neocortex and of the olfactory bulbs was studied. Neocortical activity did not show signs of damage remaining without gross changes before, during and after the covering with soil. The olfactory bulbs showed a great decrease of bursting sinusoidal activity which almost instantaneously reversed when the soil was removed. The mechanisms of these changes are discussed. © 1986 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
