Chronic experiments on macaques, trained to perform a delayed choice of the side of the conditioned signal, revealed the characteristics of unit responses in the prefrontal cortex to the stimuli, in relation to which the animals organized their behavior, i.e. warning, conditioned and triggering stimuli. The delay period differed from that of expectancy for the conditioned signal ("non-specific expectancy"): in the delay period the discharge frequency of 56 neurones depended on the lateralization of the conditioned signal. The connection between the rearrangements of neuronal spike activity and the process of the short-term memory and the formation of the programme of the adaptive behaviour is discussed.
对经过训练能对条件信号的一侧进行延迟选择的猕猴进行的慢性实验，揭示了前额叶皮层中神经元对刺激的反应特性，动物据此组织其行为，即预警刺激、条件刺激和触发刺激。延迟期与对条件信号的预期期（“非特异性预期”）不同：在延迟期，56个神经元的放电频率取决于条件信号的侧化。文中讨论了神经元放电活动的重新排列与短期记忆过程以及适应性行为程序形成之间的联系。
