Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Stimulation of the dorsal raphe nucleus modulates the activity of the neurons of the somatosensory cortex in kittens beginning with the tenth to twelfth day after birth.

  2. 2.

    Application of serotonin reproduces the effect of stimulation of the dorsal raphe nucleus.

  3. 3.

    The GABAergic system in the neocortex, according to the criterion of specific sensitivity of the neurons to the mediator, is formed by the end of the second week of life.
