Abstract
Exploration of unit activity in the immediate vicinity of a thalamic stimulating electrode revealed that a considerable proportion of cells is silenced by an electrical stimulus. Therefore, the view that excitation is the effect of electrical stimulation of a brain structure like the thalamus may be a misleading over-simplification.
