The main outcome of the experiments described in the paper is an idea on the gnostic cortical microset. Multineuronal activity recorded from the motor cortex of cats with a conditioned response to time and the following cross-correlation analysis revealed a strict distribution of interneuronal connections within the microsystems (between the adjacent neurons) and variable connections between the remote neurons during the active waiting stage of two minute interval. Additional analysis of the narrow (0.5 ms) peaks of the histograms allowed to form a view on the synaptic interaction in time. It was found that there was different temporal distribution of the spikes in the peak obtained due to correlograms of neuronal pairs. Some cortical neurons demonstrated a visible synaptic activation at the end of the waiting period when other signs of the temporary behaviour were absent. Pharmacological testing functional interneuronal connections with acetylcholine and Ca(2+)-suppressing drug EGTA have raised a question on the neurochemical specificity of the intra- and extracortical synapses.
