Abstract
AbstractRostad, H. Colonic motility in the cat. V. Influence of telencephalic stimulation and the peripheral pathways mediating the effects. Acta physiol. scand. 1973. 89. 169–181.The cerebral cortex and intracerebral structures were stimulated in lightly anesthetized cats while colonic motility was recorded using extraluminal strain gage transducers. Excitatory colonic responses were produced from the anterior ectosylvian gyrus (the second somatic sensory‐motor area) and from a small zone around the anterior end of the lateral sulcus. These effects were shown to be mediated through the vagal nerves. Colonic inhibition resulted from stimulation of three separate cortical zones, the anterior sigmoid, the orbital and the anterior cingulate gyrl These effects were mediated mainly through the lumbar colonic nerves. Stimulation of the amygdaloid nuclei produced excitatory colonic effects mediated through the lumbar colonic nerves. Inhibitory effects were not obtained from the amygdala. Finally, weak colonic contractions resulted from stimulation of the olfactory bulb and tract and were found to be conveyed through the parasympathetic vagal and pelvic nerves.
