NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF BEHAVIOR (MODIFICATIONS OF CORTICAL EVOKED RESPONSES DURING AVOIDANCE CONDITIONING IN THE MONKEY)

Abstract

Experiments were carried out in order to investigate the modifications of the following cortical evoked responses during avoidance conditioning experiments as well as during spontaneous EEG arousel in the monkey: (1) cortical responses evoked by single electrical stimuli to specific thalamic nuclei in the sensory-motor, frontal and visual areas, (2) cortical responses evoked in the sensory-motor cortex by peripheral stimuli (single shocks to the hand), and (3) cortical responses evoked by repetitive thalamic stimulation (augmenting responses) to the specific thalamic nuclei in the sensory-motor and visual areas.
