    Abstract:
    The character of functional connections between the midbrain reticular formation (RF) and the neocortex was studied in rabbits. Unit activity was recorded in sensorimotor cortex by extracellular microelectrode during RF stimulation. Short-latency neuronal reactions were found presumably identified as monosynaptic responses. Results of the studies of anterograde degeneration of myelinic fibers and axonal terminals after electrocoagulation of the RF carried out with the help of electronic microscope allowed to suppose that there were few (less than 0.5 per cent) monosynaptic connections between the RF and the sensorimotor cortex. The main forms of direct connections between these structures were axo-dendritic (situated at the dendritic trunk) and axosomatic synapses at the neurones of the sensorimotor cortex.
