[Effect of extirpation of the sensorimotor cortex on the formation of conditioned reflexes to a complex signal in the ontogeny of the cat].
In kittens of the age from 39 days to 4 months the influence was studied of the sensorimotor cortex (SMC) ablation on formation and preservation of previously elaborated reflex to a simultaneous complex stimulus (light + sound) with extinction of reaction to nonreinforced components of the complex signal. It is shown that SMC ablation in the age up to 2.5 months does not affect the formation or preservation of the conditioned reflex. The SMC ablation in preliminarily trained kittens in the age of 3.5 months and older leads to disinhibition of components differentiation with preservation of the positive conditioned reflex to the complex signal. In untrained kittens of the same age the SMC ablation leads to disability of animals to inhibit the motor reaction to differentiation signal. The question is discussed of SMC significance in the ontogenesis at formation of adequate forms of behaviour requiring heterosensory interaction.
