title: [Functional topography of afferent projections of the horizontal division of the nucleus of the diagonal band in the dorsolateral neocortex of the cat].
abstract: EPs recording under Nembutal anaesthesia during stimulation of the medial section of the horizontal part of the diagonal band nucleus (HNDB) shows a wide spreading of HNDB afferentation over the neocortex: from the frontal area to the medial and some posterior parts of the auditory, parietal areas and Ep zone, with the least activation of the latter three regions and activation increasing intensity correspondingly in the somatic zones II, I (SII, SI), motor and frontal cortex. Such reduction of signals flow intensity oriented both in caudal and ventral directions of the cortex goes with foci of maximal activity of these signals in the motor, parietal areas and zones of representation of various body parts in SI and SII. Traits of similarity and differences of signal's projections in the neocortex from HNDB and thalamic relay nuclei have been revealed. A hypothesis is substantiated on different mechanisms underlying peculiarities of influences of these subcortical nuclei on the cortex depending on the type of their afferent-neuronal links in the latter and their functional role in the brain activity.
