title: [Reflection of temporal parameters of an optic stimulus in neuronal responses of the senso-motor and visual cortex in cats].
abstract: Neuronal extracellular discharges in visual (area 17) and sensory-motor (area 4 and 6) cortical fields to optical stimuli with a duration up to 1000 ms were examined in the chloralozed cats (70 mg/kg). A comparative analysis of neuronal discharge types and of functional shift intervals revealed: 1) an amount of neurons with on--off discharges in the visual cortex is 25% and in the sensory-motor cortex--100%; 2) the functional shift intervals coincide with the on--off discharge time interval for the same neurons; 3) alongside with the common time interval there are specific ranges for each zone (0--200 ms for the visual cortex; 500 ms and more for the sensory-motor cortex); 1) the afterdischarge latency of a neuron is equal to the functional shift interval value of the same neuron. These data are considered as a reflection of the optical signal time parameters by the sensory-motor cortical neurons. Such peculiarities of the sensory-motor area might be important for the time organization of the cortical movement program.
