title: [Short-latency responses of neurons of the striate system of the brain to sensory activation].
abstract: Experiments were carried out on awake cats to study responses of caudate neurons to different afferent stimuli (visual, auditory, somatic and direct electrical stimulation of medial geniculate body). Mean response latencies varied within 15-55 ms with the maximum value to 200 ms. At the same time 1-10% of cells responded with short latency to all applied stimuli. Significance of short-latency sensory responses in comprehension of principles of sensory processing in non-specific subcortical structures is discussed.
