title: [The role of ventrolateral thalamic nucleus in switching of the descending influence over to the rat motor activity].
abstract: Facilitated influence of preliminary transection of the rat rubrospinal tract on motor activity and instrumental reflexes recovering after lesion of the red nucleus was more obvious after a chemical lesion rather than the electrolytic lesion. This seems to be due to remaining cerebello-thalamic fibres after a chemical lesion of the red nucleus. A preliminary destruction of the ventrolateral thalamic nucleus was shown to complicate switching of the motor activity in the rats with transected rubrospinal tract and lesioned red nucleus.
