Abstract
Electrical stimulation of the frontal, parietal, or occipital suppressor areas of the cat results not only in a diminution or suppression of spontaneous cortical activity, but also in a diminution or suppression of the cortical effects induced by afferent somatic and visceral impulses. It is concluded that the cortical suppressor areas regulate the responsiveness of the cortex of the sensory as well as of the motor cortex.Keywords
