Conclusions
-
1.
During a stable food-getting conditioned reflex to electrical stimulation of the lateral geniculate body basically two types of responses of visual cortical neurons are observed as a manifestation of the forward conditioned connection: conditioned-activating and conditioned-inhibitory.
-
2.
During extinction of the conditioned reflex the original neuronal pattern in the visual cortex was changed to the opposite, and was correlated with the behavioral extinction of the conditioned reflex.
-
3.
Neuronal indices of the backward conditioned connection are analogous to responses of visual cortical neurons during the forward conditioned connection.
