Abstract

It has been shown that during an orienting reaction a delta-rhythm sets in in the dog EEG of the caudate nucleus head, which coincides with facilitation of the recruited rhythm in the auditory cortex EEG and inhibition of the motor activity. It has been assumed that the caudate nucleus head is involved in the processes of limitation of non-selective movements during orienting reactions.
