[The influence of the cerebellum on the background activity of medial reticulospinal tract fibers].
Characteristics of background activity of 160 reticulo-spinal fibres of the ventral funiculus were studied in anaesthetized cats with an intact cerebellum. A reduction of the relative quantity of fast-conducting fibres with background activity and changes in the characteristics of this activity as compared with those in decerebellated cats were found. It is suggested that the activity of reticulo-spinal neurons is tonically inhibited by cerebellar influences, the inhibition being differently distributed among different groups of these neurons.
