Abstract
The experiments addressed the question of whether certain modalities of stimulation are more effective in eliciting immobility-related, atropine-sensitive neocortical low-voltage fast activity and hippocampal rhythmical slow activity from the rabbit. More pronounced activation and less pronounced habituation followed tactile than auditory and visual stimulation. Atropine-sensitive EEG activity may be importantly involved in the central programming, initiation, and guidance of movement.
