    Abstract:
    At pairing of isorhythmic stimuli beyond the theta-rhythm frequency limits (3 and 8 Hz), in power spectra of EEGs of the sensorimotor and visual neocortical areas of rabbits, the frequencies are present both of the theta-range and of the stimulation frequency, in the background activity as well as during the stimulation. Both rhythms are in reciprocal relations. The frequency of the theta-rhythm approaches the frequency divisible by that of the stimulation. Under the action of the conditioned stimulus, crosscorrelation coefficients (CC) between the potentials of the areas under study decrease in most cases in comparison to their background values. Combination of the conditioned stimulus with the unconditioned one, leads approximately in equal number of cases to an increase or decrease of CC. After elimination of the stimuli, in most cases CC increases. CC of the background activity does not increase in the course of paired stimuli presentation though a conditioned response is being formed. At presence of stimuli frequency fluctuations simultaneously in the potentials of both areas, the rise of coherence function at this frequency does not occurs always. Thus, the above spectral-correlation parameters of rabbit's cortical potentials differ from those which arise at pairing of continuous nonrhythmic stimuli. This difference is probably due to different characteristics of the stimuli presented.
