[The neuronal reactions of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus to stimulation of the peripheral nerves].

In anesthetized immobilised cats, stimulation of radial [correction of ulnar], sciatic and splanchnic nerves evoked responses in 91.85; 90.56 and 83.33 per cent of neurons, resp., in the associative medio-dorsal nucleus of the thalamus. A high degree of convergence (82.6%) of somatic and visceral signals was revealed, as well as the interaction between the signals by the mutually blocking type.
