Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Pyramidal tract neurons were recorded from postcentral cortex of awake monkeys and their responses to step indentation and vibratory stimulus were studied. The majority of them exhibited slowly adapting response to the indentation stimulus but failed to show phase-locked response to 50-200 Hz vibrations. The response properties appeared to be in contrast to those of non-pyramidal tract neurons whose responses were largely quickly adapting.
