AI-generated Abstract
This research investigates the role of Substantia Innominata (SI) in influencing the thalamic activity of cats, particularly focusing on the physiological mechanisms involved in EEG synchronization and the sleep-wake cycle. Through various stimulation and lesion experiments, the study reveals that specific neuronal clusters in the SI affect the discharge patterns of thalamic nuclei, thus contributing to behavioral states such as sleep and wakefulness. The results underscore the importance of SI as a synchronizing center for thalamic activity, with potential implications for understanding sleep regulation and related disorders.
