[Relation between long loop reflex findings and the topography of cerebral infarcts].
27 patients with demarcated cerebral infarctions were examined in the computed tomograms. The long loop-reflexes were elicited by electrical stimulation of the median nerves. The localization of substance defects was clearly related to the loss of the late M2-potentials. This result points out a transcortical reflex loop through medial lemniscus, ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus, dorsal limb of the internal capsule, corona radiata and somatosensory cortex.
