[Reflection of visceral signals in the impulse activity of the caudate nucleus]

Responses of spontaneously active neurons of the caudate nucleus to stimulation of the n. splanchnicus were extracellularly recorded in immobilized cats. Presence of multimodal neurons responding to stimulation of visceral, somatic and auditory sensory systems, was also determined in this structure. The data obtained suggest probable participation of the caudate nucleus' neurons in the mechanisms of interaction between visceral signals and somatic and auditory those.
