[Establishment of the afferent function of the striatum in the rabbit during early ontogenesis].
The study is dedicated to electrophysiological analysis of development of the caudate nucleus afferent function in rabbits in early postnatal ontogenesis. By amplitude-temporal parameters of the evoked potentials (EPs) of the caudate nucleus, recorded in response to stimulation of afferent inputs from the cortical regions (motor and limbic) and substantia nigra, similar dynamics of these afferent pathways functional maturation is revealed from the beginning of functioning (in the age of 3-5 days) to the definitive level (by the 30th day of life). The most significant changes of the amplitude-temporal parameters of the evoked potential, particularly of latencies are observed during the 3d week of postnatal life. On the basis of the obtained data, the conclusion is made on the formation of a common system of striatum sensory integration in the 3d-4th week of rabbits life. This age period is considered as critical.
