Abstract

IT has previously been reported1 that, by presenting simultaneous visceral (splanchnic) and somatic (sciatic) afferent stimuli, evoked potentials can be conditioned in the sensorimotor cortex of the cat. As a continuation of these investigations, we examined cortical units during the same classical interoceptive conditioning procedure to demonstrate the possibility of this type of conditioning in the neurones of the sensorimotor cortex. There are data in the literature on response patterns of cortical units during exteroceptive conditioning in experiments with differing goals2–4.
