Intracellular recording was made from dentate nucleus neurons (DNNs) in anesthetized cats, to investigate cerebral inputs to DNNs and their responsible pathways. Stimulation of the medial portion of the contralateral pericruciate cortex most effectively produced EPSPs followed by long-lasting IPSPs in DNNs. Stimulation of the pontine nucleus (PN), the nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis (NRTP) and the inferior olive (IO) produced monosynaptic EPSPs and polysynaptic IPSPs in DNNs. The results indicate that the excitatory input from the cerebral cortex to DNNs is at least partly relayed via the PN, the NRTP and the IO. Intraaxonal injection of HRP visualized the morphology of mossy fibers from the PN to the dentate nucleus (DN) and the cerebellar cortex. The functional significance of the excitatory inputs from the PN and the NRTP to the DN is discussed in relation to the motor control mechanisms of the cerebellum.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009043 Motor Activity Body movements of a human or an animal as a behavioral phenomenon. Activities, Motor,Activity, Motor,Motor Activities
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. (From Walker's Mammals of the World, 6th ed, p801) Felis catus,Felis domesticus,Domestic Cats,Felis domestica,Felis sylvestris catus,Cat,Cat, Domestic,Cats, Domestic,Domestic Cat
D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
D002540 Cerebral Cortex The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.

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.
