[Manifestation of integrative activity in the neuronally isolated cortex]

By the slow bioelectrical activity parameter, with vector representation of experimental data, an attempt was made to reveal elements of integrative activity in the neuronally isolated cortex at early stages after its isolation from subcortical formations. Animals with an intact cerebral cortex were used as controls. It has been found that in spite of isolation of the cerebral cortex from synaptic influences of the subcortical structures, it possesses even at early stages after isolation (10--17th day) its own mechanisms of integrative activity, providing for the organization of background and evoked activity which are gradually normalized by the 30th to 40th day, without however reaching the level of activity of the intact cerebral cortex.
