  • Title: [The influence of the cerebellum on the background activity of medial reticulospinal tract fibers].
    Author: Shapovalov AV, Gokin AP, Enin LD.
    Journal: Neirofiziologiia; 1975; 7(2):212-5. PubMed ID: 1207813.
    Abstract:
    Characteristics of background activity of 160 reticulo-spinal fibres of the ventral funiculus were studied in anaesthetized cats with an intact cerebellum. A reduction of the relative quantity of fast-conducting fibres with background activity and changes in the characteristics of this activity as compared with those in decerebellated cats were found. It is suggested that the activity of reticulo-spinal neurons is tonically inhibited by cerebellar influences, the inhibition being differently distributed among different groups of these neurons.
