The regulation of muscle tonus takes place at least at six levels of the central nervous system: the spinal cord, vestibular nuclei, the cerebellum, the reticular formation, extrapyramidal system and the motor cortex. A multiple complexity of the connections of these systems in the regulation of muscle tonus is presented, so that therapy can be usefully applied in states of muscle tonus disorders.
