  • Title: [Bulbar reticular control on DSCT activity in decerebrate cats (author's transl)].
    Author: Kubota S, Amano K, Kitamura K, Poppele RE.
    Journal: No To Shinkei; 1978 May; 30(5):533-8. PubMed ID: 666920.
    Abstract:
    Effects of bulbar reticular tetanic stimulation on the responses of dorsal spinocerebellar tract (DSCT) units were studied in the decerebrate cat. The conditioning stimulation of lateral or paramedian reticular nucleus was found to reduce polysynaptic activation of DSCT cells (type 3 response) selectively without affecting either the spontaneous background discharge or the monosynaptic activation (type 1 response) or inhibition (type 2 response) by afferent inputs from the peripheral nerves of hindleg. These results show that the descending inhibition to the polysynaptic activation of DSCT cells occurs presynaptically by reticulospinal pathways from brain-stem reticular formation.
