Convergence and interaction of somatic and visceral impulsation on neurons of the ventral posterolateral thalamic nucleus. 1985

A A Airapetyan, and L G Vaganyan, and I G Tatevosyan

Acute experiments on anesthetized and immobilized cats using extracellular derivation of neuronal responses and field potentials demonstrated the predominant localization of somatic (radial nerve) responses in the mediocentral and of visceral (splanchnic nerve) responses in the centrolateral regions of the ventral posterolateral thalamic nucleus. Both similarities and differences were found in patterns of neuronal responses to peripheral stimuli of different types. A quite high degree of convergence of somato-visceral impulsation was found in the central part of the nucleus compared with its medial and lateral regions. Predominance of comparatively long-latency convergent neurons over short-latency was observed. The inhibitory character of somatovisceral interaction and the more effective inhibitory influence of conditioning stimulation of the radial nerve on test-response of splanchnic origin were demonstrated.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009433 Neural Inhibition The function of opposing or restraining the excitation of neurons or their target excitable cells. Inhibition, Neural
D011826 Radial Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans the fibers of the radial nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C5 to T1), travel via the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and supply motor innervation to extensor muscles of the arm and cutaneous sensory fibers to extensor regions of the arm and hand. Nerve, Radial,Nerves, Radial,Radial Nerves
D011930 Reaction Time The time from the onset of a stimulus until a response is observed. Response Latency,Response Speed,Response Time,Latency, Response,Reaction Times,Response Latencies,Response Times,Speed, Response,Speeds, Response

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013153 Splanchnic Nerves The major nerves supplying sympathetic innervation to the abdomen. The greater, lesser, and lowest (or smallest) splanchnic nerves are formed by preganglionic fibers from the spinal cord which pass through the paravertebral ganglia and then to the celiac ganglia and plexuses. The lumbar splanchnic nerves carry fibers which pass through the lumbar paravertebral ganglia to the mesenteric and hypogastric ganglia. Nerve, Splanchnic,Nerves, Splanchnic,Splanchnic Nerve
D013787 Thalamic Nuclei Several groups of nuclei in the thalamus that serve as the major relay centers for sensory impulses in the brain. Nuclei, Thalamic
