[Neuronal organization of a focus of unconditioned excitation in the cat sensomotor cortex]. 1978

A B Kogan, and G A Kuraev, and I V Soboleva

The impulse activity of sensorimotor area neurones, situated near the point of its direct electrical stimulation used as a reinforcing stimulus, was studied in cats. The rearrangement of impulse activity during reflex elaboration consisted in the reduction of frequency of background activity, in changes in the character of neuronal reactivity and of the pattern of response to the signal and reinforcing stimuli. During the reflex elaboration the percentage of polymodal neurones increased. Tonic response to the conditioned sound stimulus changed into a phasic one. The inhibitory component of responses to direct electrical stimulation of the sensorimotor cortex became more protracted.

D009044	Motor Cortex	Area of the FRONTAL LOBE concerned with primary motor control located in the dorsal PRECENTRAL GYRUS immediately anterior to the central sulcus. It is comprised of three areas: the primary motor cortex located on the anterior paracentral lobule on the medial surface of the brain; the premotor cortex located anterior to the primary motor cortex; and the supplementary motor area located on the midline surface of the hemisphere anterior to the primary motor cortex.

D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
