Evoked Potentials in the Cat Brain to Photic Stimuli Eliciting a Food-Procuring Conditioned Reflex,
Abstract
The changes in the evoked potential amplitudes were studied in the projection and associative cortex of the cat's brain in response to light stimuli eliciting a food-procuring conditioned reflex. A relationship was found between the increase in the amplitude of the evoked potentials in the visual cortex, the lateral geniculate body and the pulvinar of the optic thalamus in response to photic stimuli and the satiation of the animal. The increased amplitude of the associative response in the parietal cotrex is due to the activating influence of alimentary motivation excitation.
