Popis: Spontaneous and evoked activities of neurons recorded in the ventrobasal thalamic complex of polyarthritis Rats differ from those recorded in normal Rats. More than 1/3 of them displayed spontaneous paroxystic long discharges. Numerous neurons (41%) were excited by joint movement with responses showing very long after-discharges. Some of the responses elicited by light cutaneous stimuli were of the "lemniscal" type. Other ones displayed large bilateral receptive fields, located on inflammatory areas and showed long after-discharges. Only a few neurons were exclusively activated by intense cutaneous stimuli, contrasting with the higher cumulis in normal animals.
