[Organization of interneuron interaction in the cerebral cortex of cats learning to distinguish visual stimuli]

Focal and impulse activity of neurones, recorded in pairs with one microelectrode, was studied in the field 18 of cat visual cortex, during learning of visual differentiation of shaped stimuli--light strips with different orientation one towards the other. Differences were found between functional properties of neighbouring visual neurones before learning and in learning dynamics. During learning, independently of visual signal stimuli orientation, reaction patterns of the same type were formed in neighbouring visual neurones.
