Abstract
Electrical stimulation has been applied in studies of the ontogenetic development of the motor cortex by several authors. The results of these experiments are, however, largely controversial. Moreover, the studies have usually focused on the first few weeks of the animal’s life, and, therefore, they do not give a full and systematic description of changes taking place in the motor cortex over a longer period of time.
