The organization of chicken mesencephalic areas from which stapedius muscle activity and vocalization can be differently elicited was studied. Our results show the existence of an area, around the mesencephalic 'calling area', from which stapedius muscle activity can be evoked independently of vocalization. Furthermore, low threshold 'vocalization loci' stimulation evokes field potentials in the stapedius-controlling area, due to the activation of stapedius-controlling neurons by vocalization neurons.

Abstract
The organization of chicken mesencephalic areas from which stapedius muscle activity and vocalization can be differently elicited was studied. Our results show the existence of an area, around the mesencephalic 'calling area', from which stapedius muscle activity can be evoked independently of vocalization. Furthermore, low threshold 'vocalization loci' stimulation evokes field potentials in the stapedius-controlling area, due to the activation of stapedius-controlling neurons by vocalization neurons.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
