Thanks to this installation, it was possible to study the activity of cat neurons in a natural environment, recording a large number of parameters characterizing brain activity (local cortical potential and electroencephalogram) and important parameters of general body state (heartbeat, breathing, eye movement). The spike activity of individual cells or small groups of cells localized in cortical areas associated with sound analysis was considered. A significant number of these cells responded to a low-frequency intensive human snore sound with by modulating their firing frequency synchronized with the temporal features of the snore. These data allow us to reconsider some established postulates regarding the role of the auditory cortex based on experiments conducted mainly on anesthetized animals.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>На электрофизиологической установке, созданной Иваном Николаевичем Пигаревым, нам удалось исследовать нейронную активность слуховой коры кошки (локальный потенциал коры, электроэнцефалограмма, импульсация одиночных клеток) в естественном состоянии, регистрируя параллельно важнейшие параметры общего состояния организма (сердцебиение, дыхание, двигательная активность глаз). Рассмотрена импульсная активность одиночных клеток или малых ансамблей нейронов, локализованных в слуховых зонах коры, при воздействии одного сигнала – звука человеческого храпа довольно высокой интенсивности. Значительное число клеток, расположенных в той области слуховой коры, где располагаются клетки с характеристическими частотами в диапазоне 10–14 кГц, отвечали на этот сигнал модуляцией текущей частоты импульсации, хорошо синхронизованной с частотно-временными особенностями храпа. Полученные данные позволяют пересмотреть ряд установившихся постулатов о роли слуховой коры, которые были сформированы на основе экспериментов, проводимых главным образом на наркотизированных объектах.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>absence of anesthesia</kwd><kwd>cat</kwd><kwd>auditory cortex</kwd><kwd>snoring</kwd><kwd>neurons</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>отсутствие наркоза</kwd><kwd>кошка</kwd><kwd>слуховая кора</kwd><kwd>храп</kwd><kwd>нейроны</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Бибиков Н.Г., Грубник О.Н.
