Abstract
The influence of claustrum stimulation on spontaneous unitary activity of the ipsilateral frontal oculomotor area was analyzed in anesthetized cats. Sixty-five neurons were isolated, 37 of which (57%) were identified as projecting to the superior colliculus; on 12 of these last units (32%), electrical activation of the dorsal claustrum provoked an excitatory effect, which appeared after a latency of 5-15 ms and lasted 10-25 ms. These data could suggest the involvement of the claustrum in the visuomotor coordination function.Entities:
