[Mechanisms of transmission of excitation grnerated in the orbito-frontal cortex]

Experiments carried out on cats showed that interhemispheric generalization of strychnine spasmodic potentials from the orbito-frontal cortex were mainly brought about by the callosal pathway. In contrast to other projection and association zones of the cortex only the frontal portion of the corpus callosum (the rostrum) and not the whole corpus took part in transmitting strychnine commissures. The results of investigations carried out were consistent with the general conception of the principle of the determining dispatch station (DDS) in the nervous system integration activity. These results reveal that the appearance of the DDS induces secondary excitation foci which fully reproduce tha work regimen of the DDS. Switching of such "mirror" foci representing "the destination stations" from the DDS influence led to the elimination of the activity induced in them.
