Study of the Peculiarities of the Thalamus and Cortical Recruitment Reaction (K Voprosu ob Osobennostyakh Talamo-Korkovoi Reaktsii Vovlecheniya),
Abstract
A review of the literature concerning the functional organization of the unspecific thalamo-cortical projection system is presented. Certain characteristic properties of the recruitment reaction are analyzed. Results of personal investigations concerning the mechanism of the electrotonic distribution of recruitment potentials are reported. It is demonstrated that the latter part is taken to be a true phenomenon of recruitment. Data, allowing the differentiation between these two effects are cited. According to the author one has no right to speak about recruit phenomena only on a basis of its monopolar study. The creation of a powerful electrical field, detectable at a considerable distance, through the stimulation of subcortical structures, is proposed as an explanation of the mechanism of the physical distribution of potentials of the recruit reaction. The generation, by these structures, of discharges of high voltage, enables their registration independent of their synaptic conduction. (Author)
