Sex differences of hemisphere asymmetry of homo- and heterotopic transcallosal responses in association cortex of 48 cats (24 male and 24 female) immobilized by tubocurarine have been studied by means of topographic EPs recordings in both hemispheres. In males left hemisphere dominates by the amplitude of homotopic and positive wave of heterotopic EPs and right hemisphere dominates by the amplitude of negative wave of heterotopic sensorimotor cortex EPs. The individual asymmetry of EPs has been observed in sensomotor cortex of females and in parietal cortex of animals of both sex. The interhemispheric asymmetry is expressed distinctly in females than in males. It is concluded that sex dimorphism is present in functional organization of associative system of (callosal and intracortical) connections in cat's neocortex projection and association areas which means its more expressed hemisphere lateralization in males with more expressed interhemispheric asymmetry of functional transcallosal connections in females. 相似文献

In acute experiments on kittens the process of formation of asymmetry of transcallosal responses (TCR) was studied in multiple leads from symmetrical points of the parietal cortex. By the early positive-negative TCR complex, vanishing as a result of callosotomy, predominance of positive components in the right hemisphere was found in 2-7 days kittens, whereas in 8-24 days animals the left hemisphere dominated by both phases of responses. By the late TCR component preserved after section of the callosal body, left-hemispheric asymmetry was found in the elder group of kittens; it was absent in the younger animals. TCR asymmetry in the parietal cortex depended on the sex of the animals. With their age its inversion and enhancement took place. This process is based on the increase of TCR amplitude in the left hemisphere, with no increase in the right hemisphere. 相似文献

Multiple recording of transcallosal responses (TCRs) from different cortex areas has been carried out by means of acute experiments with immobilized and anesthetized kittens at the age of 1 to 30 days after birth. Homotopical TCRs in kittens at the age of 2-15 days appear earlier, are presented wider and reveal features of a greater maturity configuration and of amplitudinal-temporal parameters in association zone (parietal and sensorimotor) in comparison with projection zones (somatosensory, visual and auditory). Interhemispheric interrelations in association cortex of kittens are carried out not only by means of callosal but extracallosal system. In the course of animal developing in the parietal cortex the drain of the surface-positive oscillation moves from V to III layer and the drain of the surface-negative deviation remains at the level of II-III layers. The late component is registered up to the depth of III-IV layers, having the drain in I-II layers. In sensorimotor cortex the surface-negative oscillation has the drain in I-II layers, surface-positive--in III and V--VI layers. The interhemispheric asymmetry emerging from the moment of responses appearance is peculiar to TCRs of projection and association zones. In the first month of the postnatal development the asymmetry of positive and negative TCR oscillation amplitude has an individual character in sensorimotor cortex and a specific one--in parietal. The temporal parameters of TCR in association areas of the left hemisphere cortex are significantly shorter than of the right one. The data given testify to the possibility of interhemispheric interrelation realization and the presence of interhemispheric asymmetry in cat's brain on the early stages of postnatal ontogenesis. 相似文献

Functional interhemispheric asymmetry was investigated by evoked potentials method in experiments on ten cats under ethaminal anaesthesia at 200 points of the visual cortex during the action of binocular and monocular photic flashes of submaximal intensity. Topographic maps have been plotted of the functional interhemispheric asymmetry. In most of the animals a hemisphere dominant and non-dominant at the given moment can be singled out. Section of the callosal body leads to reduction of the functional interhemispheric asymmetry due to a decrease of the focus of maximum activity in the dominant hemisphere and its increase in the non-dominant one. A mozaic pattern of functional interhemispheric asymmetry has been demonstrated, as expressed in the existence of zones of inverse dominance along with prevailing zones of direct dominance. Section of the callosal body produced a decrease in the area of direct dominance and an increase in that of inverse dominance. Absolute interhemispheric asymmetry was most pronounced in the central part of the visual cortex (field 18 and its medial boundary) and the relative one, on the periphery of the visual area (fields 17 and 19). 相似文献

Hypotension in adult animals recruits brain sites extending from cerebellar cortex to the midbrain and forebrain, suggesting a range of motor and endocrine reactions to maintain perfusion. We hypothesized that comparable neural actions during development rely more extensively on localized medullary processes. We used functional MRI to assess neural responses during sodium nitroprusside challenges in 14 isoflurane-anesthetized kittens, aged 14-25 days, and seven adult cats. Baseline arterial pressure increased with age in kittens, and basal heart rates were higher. The magnitude of depressor responses increased with age, while baroreceptor reflex sensitivity initially increased over those of adults. In contrast to a decline in adult cats, functional MRI signal intensity increased significantly in dorsal and ventrolateral medullary regions and the midline raphe in the kittens during the hypotensive challenges. In addition, significant signal intensity differences emerged in cerebellar cortex and deep nuclei, dorsolateral pons, midbrain tectum, hippocampus, thalamus, and insular cortex. The altered neural responses in medullary baroreceptor reflex sites may have resulted from disinhibitory or facilitatory influences from cerebellar and more rostral structures as a result of inadequately developed myelination or other neural processes. A comparable immaturity of blood pressure control mechanisms in humans would have significant clinical implications. 相似文献

The influence of conditioning locus coeruleus (LC) stimulation on various components of transcallosal field response was investigated in the parietal cortex of the cat brain. Conditioning LC simulation caused a decrease in fast positive wave amplitude and facilitated slow negative wave. It is concluded that LC suppresses excitatory and facilitates inhibitor processes evoked in the parietal cortex by transcallosal stimulation. 相似文献

Taurine is an important modulator of neuronal activity in the immature brain. In kittens, taurine deficiency causes serious dysfunction in the cerebellar and cerebral visual cortex. The processes of taurine transport in vitro were now studied for the first time in different brain areas in developing and adult cats. The uptake of taurine consisted initially of two saturable components, high- and low-affinity, in synaptosomal preparations from the developing cerebral cortex and cerebellum, but the high-affinity uptake component completely disappeared during maturation. The release of both endogenous and preloaded labeled taurine from brain slices measured in a superfusion system was severalfold stimulated with a slow onset by depolarizing K+ (50 mM) concentrations. K+ stimulation released markedly more taurine from the cerebral cortex, cerebellum and brain stem in kittens than in adult cats. The responses were largest in the cerebellum. Both uptake and release of taurine are thus highly efficient in the brain of kittens and may be of significance in view of the vulnerability of cats to taurine deficiency. 相似文献

In cats under Nembutal anesthesia, impulses come to the parietal areas of both hemispheres, which, when evoked by unilateral stimulation of fore- and hind-paws, converge at the same cortical points forming early components of associative responses (ECAR). In responses to contralateral paws' stimulation, individual interhemispheric functional asymmetry is shown. The influence of the contralateral parietal area on the ipsilateral one is more strong than the reverse effect. In contrast to ECAR formation on the contralateral side as a result of the arrival of impulses of specific genesis along the "classical" lemniscal tract,--the signals of the same type participating in the initiation of ECAR in the ipsilateral hemisphere, on their way form a relay in the thalamus and the same zone of the opposite side via the interthalamic commissure and callosal body, correspondingly. It is suggested that along with the arrival of impulses through the mentioned crossed tracts, ECAR generation in the ipsilateral parietal cortex involves impulses, coming through the uncrossed channel of the extralemnisc tract. 相似文献

In experiments on 23 kittens ageing between 1-30 days, anaesthetized by barbiturate and immobilized by diplacine, studies have been made on the distribution of transcallosal responses (TCRs) along the whole diameter of the sensorimotor cortex. In order to obtain more accurate data on localization of the sources and drains of extracellular current vertical component, a method of double graphic differentiation was used. It was shown that in 1-2-day kittens TCRs have a positive oscillation form throughout all the depth of recording. During the 1st week, TCRs from the cortical surface acquired a positive-negative configuration, remaining mostly positive in deeper layers. At this ontogenetic stage, the drain of positive-negative oscillation is focused in the layer I. In 2-3-week kittens, positive-negative potentials on the surface were transformed into negative-positive responses in deep layers. The drains of this deep negative component were localized in the layers III and V-VI. On the 4th week, positive-negative TCRs on the surface changed into negative-positive potentials at various depths depending on the spatial position of the recording point. The drain of deep-laid negative component in the focus of maximum activity was found in the layer V, out of its boundaries--in the layers II-III. Ontogenetic dynamics was revealed of current drains localization of both TCRs components in the sensorimotor cortex in new-born kittens. 相似文献

In chronic experiments on 6 cats the influence was studied of unilateral vestibular neurotomy on conditioned, oculographic and electrocardiographic reactions. In operated animals appeared sharply expressed posetonic and oculomotor disturbances, lowered general functional brain state, what was manifested in an increase of specific weight of slow spindle-shaped rhythmics and lowering of the conditioned activity level. Against the background of the lowered functional brain state interhemispheric asymmetry developed with relative predominance of the contralateral hemisphere, what was reflected in electrocorticographic manifestations and disturbance of conditioned spatial differentiations. Significance is grounded of the appearing interhemispheric asymmetry in the development of disturbances of spatial analysis in operated animals. 相似文献

Peptide extracts of the right and left hemispheres were applied to the projective (somatosensory and visual) and temporal associative regions of the left brain hemisphere in cats. In the zones of peptide application, evoked potentials (EP) in response to singular and coupled somatic, visual and transcallosal stimuli were registered. The data obtained showed that right and left peptide extracts had different effects on evoked potentials of the left hemisphere. Thus ipsilateral extract increased the amplitude of projective EP, decreased duration of their cycles and amplitude of transcallosal responses. Contralateral extract, on the contrary, activated interhemispheric inputs to brain cortex, suppressed thalamic inputs and increased multimodal properties of neurons. A differential approach to the problem of specific correction of pathological states of the right and left brain hemispheres is required. Right and left peptide extracts may be used in normalization of interhemispheric activity balance in compensatory-recovering processes. 相似文献

In acute experiments on 3-30-day kittens, recording the evoked potentials, studies have been made on the development and maturation of sensorimotor parietal associative and transcallosal responses (TCR). At early ontogenetic stages, these TCR are presented by single negative oscillation, strictly localized, with a large latent period and long duration. During postnatal life, the duration of the latent period decreases, whereas the area of the evoked potentials increases. Investigation of the electrical responses in focus of maximum activity in sensorimotor and parietal associative regions in kittens of all age groups revealed earlier activation of the projectional areas and later maturation of the associative inputs. 相似文献

The character of functional interneuronal relations in the sensorimotor cortex during spontaneous neural activity in kitten and adult cats immobilized with d-tubocurarine, was studied by the method of cross-correlations of two impulse series. The data obtained by computation revealed specific age-related interneuronal connections in investigated groups of animals. In kitten aged up to 10 days, the highest percentage of the functional connections was observed which were established mainly due to the influence of a common source. In other groups of animals (kittens of 20, 30 days of postnatal life, adult cats) the common source did not play a significant role in the formation of interneuronal connections. The results showed that inhibitory connections between neurones-are established to the end of the first month of the postnatal life. 相似文献

In kittens of the first month of postnatal life, studies have been made of the evoked potentials in the parietal cortex elicited by stimulation of the posterior lateral thalamic nuclei. It is suggested that within the first days of life the EPs result mainly from the electrical activity of the deep (V-VI) layers of the cortex. This suggestion is confirmed by a significant increase in the velocity of the rising phase and the decrease of the duration of the EPs in the deep layers in newborn animals, as well as partial inversion of the negative wave of the EP at the level of these layers in 1-week kittens. Total depth of the median layers in 1-week kittens is twice less than that in 1 month old ones. To the end of the 2nd week, the input of the activity of the median layers into total activity increases: the focus of partial inversion of the negative wave of the EPs is translocated upward to the border of layers II-III. In 1-month kittens, the general pattern of the EPs in the parietal cortex is the same as in adult cats. 相似文献

In 11-14 days kittens, about 20% of neurones in the somatosensory cortical zone react to stimulation of subpallidal region which is a source of cholinergic projections to the cerebral cortex. The effect of subpallidal region stimulation is reproduced in case of microiontophoretic acetylcholine application and blocked by atropine what points to its cholinergic nature. Cholinergic stimulation causes inhibition of the background and evoked activities of the cortical neurones while, as it is known, in adult cats, acetylcholine mainly stimulates a reaction of activation. It is postulated that in kittens at the end of the second week of postnatal development, cholinergic innervation of the cortex significantly differs from the definitive one by its quantitative and functional parameters. 相似文献

A study was carried out on 8 adult cats of functional role of the frontal, parietal and occipital parts of the neocortex, and also of the dorsal hippocampus, mediodorsal thalamic nucleus and caudate nucleus head, in realization of a delayed spatial choice (DSCh) before and after compensatory reorganizations of the brain activity caused by multiple electrical stimulation of the frontal part of the cerebral cortex. Compensatory reorganization led to a change of functional significance of these structures. While before this change the frontal cortex, hippocampus and mediodorsal thalamic nucleus were critically necessary brain areas for the realization of the DSCh, after it parietal and occipital cortical areas acquired such significance. The obtained data are discussed proceeding from the principle of the integrity in the brain activity. 相似文献

We analysed evoked responses recorded from 97 cells in the visual cortex of 4 adult cats and 8 kittens, stimulated by a drifting sinusoidal grating. A Fourier analysis of the responses allowed us to select 30 cells showing a clear modulating response (relative modulation index > 1). The 162 records from these selected cells were scanned to detect precise temporal correlations in the form of replicating triplets and associated ghost doublets. Temporal correlations of this nature were observed in these cells. They are about 10 times more abundant in adult cats than in kittens, and mostly observed in infragranular cortical layer cells. The possible role of these precise temporal patterns in information processing in the brain is examined, as well as the relation between this type of temporal correlation with coherent oscillations and principal components waveforms. 相似文献

We have investigated several aspects of cortical organization in adult cats and in young kittens. First, we determined receptive field (RF) maps of correlated discharge between pairs of cortical cells. Unique bicellular RFs appear to convey high resolution information. Second, we studied the dynamics of neural interaction between pairs of cells. Using cross-correlation analysis, we studied monosynaptic and polysynaptic interactions in both kittens and cats. A somewhat surprising finding is that there were no cases of monosynaptic excitation from simple to complex cells as would be predicted by a simple hierarchical processing theory. Third, we studied length and side tuning characteristics of cortical cells and worked out the relationships between them. Fourth, we carried out an investigation of binocular processing in which we compared monocular and binocular sensitivity of cortical cells with respect to contrast. Our results are comparable to those found in psychophysical work. Fifth, we examined how stereoscopic depth information is encoded by simple cells in the visual cortex. We show that structural differences in RFs of left and right eyes may be expressed in terms of phase. Phase-based encoding appears to be a very plausible alternative to the standard position-based notion. Sixth, we attempted to induce plastic changes in connections between cell pairs by long-term activation (up to 2 h) in kittens and cats. Although connection strength between some cell pairs was increased during long-term activation, there was no consistent pattern of this effect. Seventh, we attempted to study the functional basis of reported claims of RF expansion following use of an artificial scotoma. However, we found no receptive field size change from this procedure. For some cells, there is an apparent change of gain in the form of base (spontaneous) rates and absolute response levels. Finally, we have examined RF dynamics in the central visual pathways. The standard treatment of RFs is to consider only spatial aspects. But the RF is inherently both temporal and spatial in nature and we have examined the dynamics of spatiotemporal organization of RFs in central visual pathways. 相似文献

The dynamics of habituation in the rostral part of the parietal association region and also in the first and second somatosensory areas was studied by the evoked potentials (EP) method in cats anesthetized with chloralose (80-90 mg/kg) and immobilized with flaxedil. During repeated stimulation of the splanchnic nerve brief habituation of EP developed in the cortex. It corresponded in its basic features to habituation observed in other sensory systems. On comparison of the rates of development of habituation in the primary and secondary projection zones of the splanchnic nerve in the cortex differences were found: habituation developed more rapidly in the secondary projection zones. The functional importance of this phenomenon is discussed. 相似文献
