Changes in the bioelectrical activity in various areas of the cerebral cortex in dogs, during the formation of a temporary connection

Summary

Under the combined effect of two stimuli (non-rhythmic light and passive raising of the forelimb), a considerable change occurred in the character of the bioelectric activity in various cortical areas.

At first, these changes were limited to the nucleus of the motor analyzer (synchronic course of the waves of action potentials at two points of the cortex located in the areas of representation of the fore and hind limbs). Later, there appeared synchronous waves of action potentials between these two points and the nucleus of the visual analyzer. It may be suggested that the similarity in the waves of action potentials of various cortical portions points to the presence of selective connections between them and is one of the signs indicating establishment of a temporary connection.
