[Cholinergic regulation of the activity of somatosensory cortex neurons during early postnatal ontogeny of the cat].

In 11-14 days kittens, about 20% of neurones in the somatosensory cortical zone react to stimulation of subpallidal region which is a source of cholinergic projections to the cerebral cortex. The effect of subpallidal region stimulation is reproduced in case of microiontophoretic acetylcholine application and blocked by atropine what points to its cholinergic nature. Cholinergic stimulation causes inhibition of the background and evoked activities of the cortical neurones while, as it is known, in adult cats, acetylcholine mainly stimulates a reaction of activation. It is postulated that in kittens at the end of the second week of postnatal development, cholinergic innervation of the cortex significantly differs from the definitive one by its quantitative and functional parameters.

[Sensory information--an important factor in ontogeny].

Ontogenetic process reveals a row of consecutive stages characterized by the gradual increase in complexity and by the changing specificity of sensory mechanisms basic for the adaptive behavior of the young. The study examines the mechanisms of interaction among different sensory systems during the formation of early behavioral patterns and analyzes why, at a certain stage of development, a particular sensory stimulus loses its efficacy in the organization of a given behavior and is substituted by another one, previously ineffective. A special attention is paid to formation of behavior based on sensory information within the limits of ontogenetically fixed developmental critical periods and to the role of the early sensory experience in learning in adult animals.

[Ribonuclease improves the function of hippocampal slices in the postischemic period].

Population spike amplitude was measured in hippocampal slices under conditions of 20-min glucose and oxygen deficit ("in vitro ischemia") with or without ribonuclease A. In control slices the response was gradually decreased within 3 +/- 2 min after the onset of hypoxia/hypoglycemia. This process continued during 13 +/- 6 min of reperfusion. The reperfusion restored the amplitude up to 70 +/- 17% of its initial level within 1.5 h after the onset of this procedure. Addition of ribonuclease delayed the beginning of the response decrease (by 8 +/- 2 min) and increased the level of its restoration (up to 113 +/- 23%) after the reperfusion. It is suggested that ribonuclease prevents from the energy exhaustion by preserving the cellular energy stores.
