[Interaction of effects of functionally different zones of the cerebral cortex on the caudate nucleus neurons in the cat].

Extracellular recording from the caudate nucleus neurons was performed in experiments on immobilized cats during paired stimulation of anterior sigmoideus and middle suprasylvius gyri. The findings indicate that the two cortical areas influence these neurons, the motor cortex having a greater influence on caudate neurons than the association cortex. The same interaction was recorded after a deep transcortical dissection between the stimulated areas.
