title: [Substantia nigra neurons activity in cat brain during realization of self-initiation of behavioural action].
abstract: Activity of 50 dopamine and 67 non-dopamine neurons was studied during motivated behavioural actions in the cat brain black substance. 66% of former and 88% of latter neurons modified their activity before and during autoinitiated voluntary movements. The data obtained suggest that dopamine neurons are involved in organisation of movements in behavioural actions with cognitive components.
