Visually driven units in the anterior limbic cortex of the cat.
Single-unit activity was recorded from the anterior limbic cortex of awake cats adapted for chronic recording. Visual stimulation by two stationary spots of white light revealed that 23% of the 170 units recorded from responded with phasic excitation or inhibition to the light onset, light offset, or light onset and offset period of stimulation. These results support the contention that the anterior limbic cortex is a component of the prefrontal cortical network in the cat.
