  • Title: [Neuronal impulse trains of the visual and sensorimotor areas of the rabbit neocortex in calm wakefulness and pseudoconditioning].

    Abstract:
    The conjugation of unit activity in the neocortical visual and sensorimotor areas during calm wakefulness and in intersignal intervals, in two groups of rabbits at pseudoconditioning was studied. The first group was presented in a random order with flashes and electrocutaneous stimuli, the second one--with sounds and electrocutaneous stimuli. The number of neurones pairs working in correlation during calm wakefulness is significantly less (35%) than during pseudoconditioning (49 and 50% in the first and second rabbits groups, respectively). During calm wakefulness and in both groups during pseudoconditioning, the number of pairs with delays of discharges of the visual area neurones after the sensorimotor one, and of the sensorimotor after visual up to 120 ms was equal. Comparison of the data on delayed neuronal discharges during calm wakefulness and pseudoconditioning with those obtained earlier with conditioned reflexes testifies that forestalling of visual area neuronal discharges by sensorimotor discharges is characteristic only for the activity of cortical projections of conditioned and unconditioned stimuli.
