title: [An analysis of interhemispheric interrelationships in the visual cortex of cats based on the law of contrast perception of light].
abstract: The dependence of EP amplitude on the intensity of photic stimuli before and after section of the callosal body may be fully defined by the equation of the contrast law of light perception. Analysis of the nature of interhemispheric relationships by means of contrast law has shown that both reciprocal depressing and reciprocal facilitating interhemispheric relationships may exist in the primary visual cortical projection zone, and reciprocal facilitating interhemispheric influences in the secondary visual projection zone. Similarity of interhemispheric relationships has been recorded in the primary visual cortex in cats and in the secondary one, in rats, as well as in the socondary visual cortical zone in cats, and in the primary, in rats. Interhemispheric reciprocal influences in the whole range of stimuli intensities are distributed more uniformly in cats than in rats. Cats may perceive a wider range of intensity of photic stimuli than rats. In cats as in rats, the effectiveness of processing of the photic stimuli contrast is greater in the secondary visual cortical projection zone than in the primary one.
