  • Title: [Effect of stimulation of the superior colliculi of the tectum mesencephali on the motor neurons of the neck muscles of the cat].
    Author: Gura EV, Limanskiĭ IuP.
    Journal: Neirofiziologiia; 1986; 18(2):197-202. PubMed ID: 3012380.
    Abstract:
    Postsynaptic potentials evoked by stimulation of three points of the superior colliculus in motoneurons of neck muscles were studied in experiments on cats under chloralosenembutal anesthesia. Stimulation of ipsilateral superior colliculus evoked EPSP with latencies ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 ms in 49 motoneurons. Stimulation of contralateral superior colliculus evoked EPSP with latencies ranging from 1.5 to 3.0 ms in 63 motoneurons and IPSP with latencies ranging from 2.6 to 5.0 ms in 10 motoneurons. It is suggested that the recorded postsynaptic potentials are mono- and disynaptic.
