Influence of acetylcholine, serotonine and norepinephride on background and induced impulse activity of cat motor cortex neurons at conditioned reflex

Abstract

The investigation is concerned with the cat's encephalon cortex motor region neurons. The object of investigation is revelation of the regularities of the role of acetylcholine, serotonine and porepinephrine in maintaining the background and induced activity of the cat's motor cortex neurons during the accomplishment of conditioned reflex activities. The obtained results substantially add to the modern notion of the role of nonspecific projections onto the neocortex in the functioning of the motor cortex neurons. The researchers have obtained new data on the effect produced by acetylcholine, serotonine and norepinephrine and blockers thereof on the background and induced impulce activity of the motor cortex cells. The obtained investigation results may be employed for studying the mechanisms of action of numerous neurotropic proeparations and understanding pathgenesis of a number of mental diseasesAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
