[Changes in the functional characteristics of cells of the Clare-Bishop zone after unilateral partial isolation of the cat neocortex].
Evoked single cell activity in the Clare-Bishop area of the cat neocortex was recorded after partial transection of subcortico-cortical connections. Both functional properties of visual, auditory and somatosensory responsive cells and their responses to electrical stimulation of the primary projection area were studied. A week after transection some neurons in the Clare-Bishop area on the operated site recovered their reactions to applied stimuli. Within the first week the sensitivity of the neurons in the intact hemisphere changed; all the recorded cells reacted to light; 80% of the cells had receptive fields that were situated in the contralateral part of the visual area; 62% of the cells reacted to somatosensory stimuli. A week after the operation the number of responsive cells decreased. The peculiar features of the neuronal compensatory reorganization in the Clare-Bishop area and its role in the recovery of visual function is discussed.
