  • Title: Interaction between impulses evoked by stimuli of different modalities in neurons of the parietal associative cortex.
    Author: Kazakov VN, Evtushenko SY.
    Journal: Neurosci Behav Physiol; 1977; 8(3):205-10. PubMed ID: 617216.
    Abstract:
    In acute experiments on cats anesthetized with chloralose and nembutal interaction between visual, auditory, and electrodermal stimuli in neurons of the parietal association cortex was studied. Two types of interaction were found; the first characterized by inhibition or by inhibition followed by facilitation of the response to the test stimulus, the second by facilitation or by facilitation followed by inhibition of spontaneous impulses. Interaction between stimuli of different modalities was shown to depend on the properties of the neuron. In polysensory neurons ability to interact was much higher than in bimodal or monomodal neurons.
