Activity of some enzymes in the cortex of the cat with pretrigeminal brainstem transection.
The visual and somatic sensory cortex were investigated. The activity of acetylcholinesterase and lactate dehydrogenase was similar in the pretrigeminal and non-operated cats. The activity of these two enzymes, as well as that of choline acetyltransferase, butyrylcholinesterase and acid phosphatase was similar 3 and 8 h after the pretrigeminal transection. Results support the possibility of utilizing the pretrigeminal cat for investigations of biochemical correlates of learning.
