title: [Response of pericruciate cortex neurons to stimulation of the medial geniculate body].
abstract: Electrical responses of 239 pericruciate neurons were studied in anaesthetized and curarized cats after stimulation of the medial geniculate body and medullary pyramids. The medial geniculate body stimulation evoked in the pericruciate neurons predominantly excitatory effects in the form of increase in the mean frequency of spike activity, generation of EPSPs and EPSPs-spike sequences. The latency analysis has shown that medial geniculate neurons have mono- and polysynaptic connections with pericruciate neurons not belonging to the pyramidal tract units.
