title: [Conditioned reactions to time of hypothalamic neurons. The perifornical nucleus].
abstract: In 40% of the 52 neurones of the hypothalamic perifornical nucleus in alert rabbits conditioned trace reactions of the activational (52%) and inhibitory (48%) type were recorded in the course of elaboration of a conditioned motor reflex to time. The sign and pattern of the trace responses were determined by the nature of cell reactions to actual paired stimuli. After 50 to 70 pairings, the unit trace conditioned reaction to time persisted for a period of 10 to 15 successive omissions. Trace responses were observed most frequently in the 5th of 8th omissions. In some cases conditioned enhancement of cell activity coincided with the conditioned motor response to time. This fact together with the maximal development of a summery trace cellular response at the moment of formation of conditioned motor reactions attests the participation of neurones of the perifornical nucleus in maintaining conditioned motor activity.
