Modulation of visually evoked responses in units of the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus of the rat by somatic stimuli.

Abstract:

:Single unit activity was recorded from the ventral part of the lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN) in rats anaesthetized with urethane. Most of the cells located laterally in the nucleus were excited by light. The studied vLGN neurones did not respond to electrical stimulation of the tail, but about half of them changed their response to light significantly when the light flash was paired with the electrical stimulation. When the tail stimulus preceded the light, the changes consisted in a pronounced facilitation of flash-evoked activity. When the electrical stimulus was applied after the flash in a forward conditioning paradigm, facilitations were less pronounced and responses of some neurones were suppressed. These results are in contrast to those of similar experiments on the dorsal LGN, neurones of which were mainly facilitated by the conditioning paradigm. Thus, light-evoked activity of ventral geniculate cells can be enhanced by arousal-related processes.
