[Effect of stimulation of the thalamic reticular nucleus on spino-bulbo-spinal reflex activity].

The effect of the thalamic reticular nucleus (RN) stimulation on the spino-bulbo-spinal reflex was studied in chloralose-anesthetized cats. RN stimulation was found to exert an inhibitory influence on this reflex. The same stimulation has also exerted an inhibitory influence on the spinal units activated during the spino-bulbo-spinal reflexes.
