ISOLATE UNIT ACTIVITY IN CENTRAL VISUAL PATHWAYS.

Abstract

Isolated neuronal discharges were led through microelectrodes from the fibers of the geniculo-cortical and cortico-thalamic tracts of the cat's visual system. A comparison was made of the interval histograms of the neuronal activity during dark adaptation in three different preparations: (1) intact brain anesthetized (Nembutal); (2) intact brain curarized; (3) midpontine, pre-trigeminally transected. In the anesthetized preparation interval histograms of the neuronal discharges in dark adaptation were also compared in the presence and in the absence of synchronized retinal activity. (Author)
