INTERCONNECTIONS OF THE SOMATIC AREAS I AND II (LIMB) OF THE CATS

Abstract

In this study the interconnections between somatic areas I and II (limb) of the cerebral cortex of the cat have been studied by means of electrical stimulation and electrical recording. It was confirmed that bilateral somatic areas I and II receive impulses from the superficial radial nerve and the saphenous nerve. It was also found that somatic areas I and II have connections with each other not only in the homolateral but in the contralateral cerebral cortex.
