[A statistical analysis of the functional connections between the neurons of the visual and motor cortex in different forms of conditioned-reflex behavior]

Abstract

In experiments on cats with elaboration of delayed alimentary operant reflexes to light organization was studied of interneuronal cortical connections. By means of cross-correlation analysis the dynamics of intra- and interstructural neuronal network was revealed at the level of cortical projections (visual and motor) of cats brain zones at three forms of behaviour: CR realization, in intersignal period with the presence and absence of operant movements. Depending on the forms of behaviour, predominance of "informational" or "motivational" interneuronal connections was observed.
