[Effect of electric stimulation of the cerebral cortex on cardiac nociceptive signal conduction].

In acute experiments on cats we studied the influence of the cortex cerebri electric stimulation on potentials in the subcortical structures such as the thalamus, hypothalamus, striatum griseum superficiale. The potentials were provoked by electric irritation of the nodus synuatrialis zone of the heart conducting system. A cortex cerebri depressing effect (mainly the 1st and 2nd zones of somatovisceral sensitivity) on cardiac afferent signals with nociceptive component was determined.
