[Microelectrophysiologic analysis of the representation of the vagal, splanchnic, sciatic nerves and sensomotor region of the cortex in the central nucleus of the amygdala].

In anesthetized cats, a high degree of reactivity (82.2%) of neurons was found to visceral nerves and visceral stimulation (single shocks and 2, 5, 10, 20 Hz) in the central nucleus of amygdala. The majority of the neurons revealed tonic changes of spontaneous activity. A high degree (76.6%) of afferent convergence from somato-visceral systems and cortical area was found.
