Single cell activity in area 18 of the cat's visual cortex during optokinetic nystagmus.

abstract：:For an understanding of how various degrees of altered use (training, disuse) affect the properties of skeletal muscles, it is important to know how much they are used normally. The main aim of the present project was to produce such background knowledge for hindlimb muscles of the cat. In four adult female cats, each...
