[Reorganization of the vestibular-thalamic projections following injury of the cerebellar interpositus and deiters vestibuar nuclei].
Plastic reorganization of the vestibular-thalamic system was studied in adult cats. It was shown, that preliminary (3 months before) injury of the cerebellar contralateral nucleus interpositus or lateral vestibular nucleus of Deiters leads to reorganization of vestibular-thalamic projections. Ipsilateral projections to the ventrolateral nucleus of thalamus arised from vestibular nuclear complex since the pattern of normal representations to mentioned thalamic nucleus were changed. The peculiarities of distribution and morphological structure of vestibular neurons forming new projections to the ventrolateral thalamic nucleus were studied as well.
