“…Nonspecific auditory, visual, and tactile projections to association areas of the cortex have been demonstrated in the chloralosed cat (Albe-Fessard & Rougeul, 1958;Buser, Borenstein, & Bruner, 1959;Thompson, Johnson, & Hoopes, 1963). In the normal waking animal both gross and single-cell responses in association areas are sensitively dependent upon the behavioral "significance" of stimuli of all three modalities (Thompson & Bettinger, in press;Thompson, Bettinger, Birch, Groves, & Mayers, 1969;Thompson & Shaw, 1965). Ablation of these cortical regions prevents subsequent development of auditory-visual sensory preconditioning (Thompson & Kramer, 1965).…”

Effects of ablation of cortical association response areas of cat on auditoryvisual conditional learning were studied. Animals were required (instrumental shock avoidance in wheel) to respond to a paired tone-light but not respond to tone alone or light alone. Normal controls and somaticsensory control lesion animals learned the task in a comparable manner. Animals with prior ablation of all four cortical-association response areas were essentially unable to learn the task. Lesions limited to the posterior areas produced considerably less impairment.

Corticothalamic projections from areas 5a, 5b, and 7 of cat parietal cortex were studied with autoradiographic techniques. Each cortical area was identified by its cytoarchitectural characteristics and the patterns of termination were related to the thalamic nuclear groups. Injections of 3H-leucine in cortical area 5a were associated with terminal labeling primarily in the spinal recipient zone of the ventral lateral nucleus (VLsp) and the medial division of the posterior group (POm). The corticothalamic projections of area 5a are loosely topographically organized; medial parts of 5a project heavily to rostral and lateral parts of VLsp and sparsely to POm, while lateral parts of 5a project to more medial and caudal parts of VLsp and heavily to POm. Cortical area 5b projects primarily to the rostral portions of the lateral posterior nucleus (LP). These projections also appear to be topographically organized. The part of area 5b on the marginal gyrus projects to more ventral parts of rostral LP, while area 5b on the middle suprasylvian gyrus projects to more dorsal and lateral parts of rostral LP. Cortical area 7 projects to LP and the pulvinar (Pul). Rostral parts of area 7 project heavily to dorsal and lateral parts of LP and lightly to Pul; more caudal portions of area 7 projects relatively more heavily to Pul. The reticular, central lateral, and paracentral nuclei also receive projections, especially from the suprasylvian gyrus. The results are discussed with regard to putative sensory response characteristics of these cortical areas and to general thalamocortical organization.
