Pyramidal influences on ventral thalamic nuclei in the cat.

Abstract:

:In pericruciate cortex-ablated 'pyramidal cats', discharge changes in single neurons of ventral thalamic nuclei were studied, following stimulation of ipsilateral medullary (MPT) and contralateral cervical (CPT) pyramidal tract. It was seen that cells in ventrolateral nucleus, ventroanterior nucleus and ventromedial nucleus were not significantly (2.2%) modified by impulses coming from MPT and CPT. Conversely, a very high percentage (58.8%) of cells in ventrobasal complex (VB) responded to MPT stimulation (64.4% in ventroposterolateral nucleus, VPL, and 40.7% in ventroposteromedial nucleus, VPM). A considerable number (34.8%) of VPL cells responsive to MPT, were influenced by CPT, while none of the cells in VPM were. The most frequent effect observed in VB neurons, on MPT and CPT stimulation, was excitation followed by depression of discharge.
