家鸽臂丛和坐骨神经传入冲动在纹状体的投射

在53只家鸽的纹状体上系统地探查了刺激臂丛和坐骨神经所引起的平均诱发电位。结果发现,臂丛传入的投射区位于新纹状体、上纹状体和外纹状体之内,坐骨神经传入投射区则分别与臂丛传入的新纹状体投射区和上纹状体部分投射区重合;臂丛和坐骨神经投射区均接受身体两侧的传入。作者认为,家鸽纹状体内的前、后肢躯体感觉传入投射区是分散的,并非形成一个集中的中枢;前肢的投射区较大,可能与机能分化有关,身体不同部位的传入冲动在同一投射区内的会聚,对于肢体活动的整合具有重要意义。

PROJECTION OF AFFERENT IMPULSES FROM THE BRACHIAL PLEXUS AND SCIATIC NERVE TO THE CORPUS STRIATUM IN PIGEONS

The corpus striatum were systematically explored by recording averaged potentials elicited by stimulation of the brachial plexus and sciatic nerve in 53 pigeons. It was found that the projection areas of brachial afferents were located within the neostriatum, the hyperstriatum and the ectostriatum. The sciatic projection areas overlap with:the brachial projection areas in the neostriatum and a part of the hyperstriatum. Moreover, the brachial and sciatic projection are as in the striatum receive the inputs from both sides of the body. We suggest that the somatic projection areas of fore- and hindlimb are distributed diffusely in the striatum of the pigeon. That the projection area of forelimb is relatively larger is probably related with functional differentiation of the forelimb. Furthermore, the convergence of afferent impulses originating in the different regions of the body within the same brain area may be important for the integration of limb activities in pigeon.
