摘要

Studies using an electrophysiological system developed by I. N. Pigarev addressed the neural activity of the auditory cortex of cats (local cortical potential, electroencephalogram, single-cell firing) in the natural state, while simultaneously recording key parameters of the body’s general condition (heart rate, respiration, eye movement). The firing activity of single cells or small ensembles of neurons located in auditory zones of the cortex on exposure to a single signal – the sound of human snoring at relatively high intensity – was studied. A significant number of cells located in the area of the auditory cortex containing cells with characteristic frequencies in the range 10–14 kHz responded to this signal by modulating their instantaneous firing frequency, which was well synchronized with the frequency-time characteristics of snoring. The resulting data allowed a number of established postulates regarding the role of the auditory cortex formed on the basis of experiments conducted primarily on anesthetized subjects to be reconsidered.
