  • Title: [Functional aspects of the relation between the claustrum and motor cortex in the cat].

    Abstract:
    In order to study the relationships between the claustrum and motor cortex neurons both of area 4 and area 6 in the cat, an experiment was performed in which the effect of claustral stimulation on pyramidal tract neurons was investigated. Single shock electrical activation of the claustrum caused an inhibition of the spontaneous activity of the neurons, or an inhibition preceded by short activation, or no effect. These evidences lead to the conclusion that the claustrum exerts a role in movement organization.
