Stimulation in the rat fastigial nucleus enhances the responses of neurons in the dorsal column nuclei to innocuous stimuli.

Abstract:

:The cerebellum was recently proposed to play a role in cognition and sensation in addition to motor phenomena. We have shown that the cerebellum is involved in the processing of sensory nociceptive information. In this study, the activity of neurons in the dorsal column nuclei (DCN) was tested following stimulation in the rat fastigial nucleus. The results showed an enhancement of the extracellularly recorded responses of DCN neurons to somatic non-noxious stimuli following injection of D,L-homocysteic acid (0.1 M, 1 microl) into the area of the fastigial nucleus. We conclude that the cerebellum influences the processing of non-noxious somatosensory information at the level of the DCN, an important relay and a center for the processing of fine tactile and vibratory information. This observation is not yet supported by clinical data.
