THE INFLUENCE OF CALLOSAL AFFERENCE ON THE RESPONSIVENESS OF SINGLE NEURONS AT THE 17/18 BORDER REGION IN THE CAT
胼胝体输入对猫17/18区交界神经元反应强度的影响

Single unit recording was performed in the 17/18 border region before and after applying GABA or its antagonist bicuculline on the surface of the other hemisphere. After GABA application, responsiveness was reduced in 52.1% of all cells and increased in 22.5% of the cells: while after bicuculline application, responsiveness was reduced in 23.2% of the cells, and increased in 44.9% of the cells.The percentage of the cells affected by one or the other or both types of drugs was much higher than that from previous studies. The significance and the reliability of the results were discussed.
