title: [Responses of caudate nucleus neurons to electrocutaneous stimulation of a paw].
abstract: 59% of the caudate neurons mostly in the head dorsal segment responded to the electric skin stimulation of the cat paw. The neurons were divided into several groups depending on the obviousness of separate components of the response. The latency and character of responses were inconstant. Separate components varied in intensity and duration. This correlated with the orienting behavioral response to ambient stimuli. The data obtained suggest some specifics of the caudate cytosynaptoarchitectonics and specific character of distribution of afferent influences from other subcortical and cortical cerebral structures.
