Summary
Electroencephalographic data on the formation of a dominant focus of excitation during the development, of caenense conditioned reflexes provoked by light or sound were analyzed. The experiments were performed on dogs, with permanently implanted electrodes.
It has been established that during the development of conditioned reflex connections the formation of a focuse inf excitation of the dominant type is taking place in the cerebral cortex. The dominant focus incloses correseal structures involved in the formation of the conditioned reflex bonds.
