Development of polysensory responses in association cortex of kitten.

Sensory responsiveness of single neurons in posterior association cortex of kittens that were 7 to 50 days old was investigated. The percentage of trimodal cells (that is, cells that respond to visual, auditory, and somesthetic stimulation) increased gradually until day 50, when percentages of trimodally responsive cells approached the adult level. In the youngest kittens, cells were predominantly responsive to only visual stimulation. With maturation, responsiveness to auditory and then to somesthetic stimulation was observed in increasing percentages of cells.

Number coding in association cortex of the cat.

In electrophysiological investigations of single neurons in cortical association response areas of the cat, cells have been encountered that appear to code the property of number. In a sequence of stimulus presentations, these cells characteristically discharge to a particular numbered stimulus in the series. This effect is independent of stimulus modality, intensity, and interstimulus interval; thus, the cells seem to be responding to the number of stimulus presentations.
