Abstract:
:The functional organization of projections from the cerebellar subcortical nuclei to the motor cortex through the nucleus ventralis lateralis (VL) of the thalamus was studied using tungsten microelectrodes for stimulation and recordings in acute and chronic cats. The following results were obtained. (1) Microstimulation of a small area of the ventral thalamus produced contraction of a single limb muscle as well as movements of whiskers. (2) The stimulus parameters for producing low threshold contraction of limb muscles were different from those for face muscles. The decrease of the frequency gradualy increased the threshold values for face muscles whereas the decrease abruptly increased the threshold for limb muscles. The optimum duration of the train for the lowest thresholds was longer for face muscles. (3) Stimulation of cerebellar nuclei (interpositus and lateralis) produced contraction of limb muscles. The stimulus parameters for the minimum threshold were similar to those for producing contraction of limb muscles from the ventral thalamus. (4) The peripheral receptive fields of neurons located around the low threshold sites in the thalamus were diffuse, i.e. they were driven insecurely by twisting the joints or pressure to the deep structures, but could not be driven by touch or light pressure on a circumscribed area of the body. (5) Chronic ablation of the motor cortex did not abolish the muscle contractions produced by thalamic stimulation, excluding the possibility that the effects were produced by stimulation of the branches of the pyramidal tract fibers reaching the ventral thalamus. (6) Chronic section of the brachium conjunctivum abolished or changed the characteristics of the contractions produced by thalamic stimulation indicating that the previous effects were produced by stimulation of cerebellar efferent fibers reaching the thalamus. (7) From these results it was concluded that the efferent impulses originating from the cerebellar nuclei can produce contraction of a particular muscle through activation of the red nucleus. These impulses are, at the same time, transmitted to a small group of neurons in the VL and then forwarded to the neurons in the motor cortex. (8) The functional significance of the VL projection system has been discussed in relation to the efferent zones within the motor cortex.
