title: Sensory input to cerebellocerebral relay neurons in the cat thalamus.
abstract: Intracellular recording techniques were used to study the synaptic responses of feline ventrolateral neurons to dorsal column, spinothalamic and sensory cortex stimulation. More than 75% of the cells responded with short- and long-latency excitatory or inhibitory postsynaptic potentials to the one or/and other stimulation sites. These findings indicate that a considerable amount of somatosensory integration in the cerebellocerebral circuit occurs in the thalamic relay neurons.
