title: Activity of some enzymes in the cortex of the cat with pretrigeminal brainstem transection.
abstract: 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.
