[Features of the antidromal and synaptic activation of neurons of the Bekhterev nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis induced by cortico- and cerebello-fugal spiking]

Abstract

Antidromic activation on the Bechterew nucleus neurons with stimulation of brachia pontis and conjunctivum as well as cerebellar central nuclei and pyramidal tract, was studied in anesthetized cats. The Bechterew nucleus neurons were found to receive direct activating inputs from brachium conjunctivum, cerebellar central nuclei and the pyramidal tract. Convergence of the inputs in single neurons was shown to exist.
