Evoked cortical potentials in absence of middle ear muscles.

Evoked potentials to click at auditory cortex were recorded from cats deprived of middle ear muscles. Variations in the amplitude of the response after surgery indicate that the participation of these muscles in habituation, conditioning, and distraction must be minimal.

Behavioral method for study of pain in the monkey.

A behavioral method is described in which increasing intensities of electric shocks were applied to the gasserian ganglia of alert monkeys. The animals were trained to press a lever to regulate the shock level. "Pain thresholds" were thereby obtained, and these thresholds were modified by varying the shock duration and by administration of morphine.

Attention units in the auditory cortex.

In the course of examining single unit responses from the cortex of unrestrained and unanesthetized cats, we have come upon a population of cells that appears to be sensitive to auditory stimuli only if the cat "pays attention" to the sound source. We have described these responses, since they have not been previously reported and since they illustrate an important difference between the information which can be gleaned from experiments of this type and that obtained in the usual "acute" microelectrode experiment.
