Abstract

The reactions of the rabbit visual cortex neurons in response to conditioned light flashes were investigated during the process of repeated changes of the feeding behaviour to the avoidance one. It is demonstrated that one and the same flash evokes different responses of the same neuron while triggering different behaviour.
