Abstract
Electrophysiological analysis shows reciprocal connections between substantia nigra and medullary reticular formation (nucleus reticularis giganto celullaris). The nigro-reticular connection appears to be monosynaptic, as shown by antidromic activation, and comprises an ipsi and a contralateral component. Its effect is mainly inhibitory. The reticulonigral component produces mainly excitatory effects and includes fibres from nucleus giganto celullaris and nucleus parvocelullaris in the medullary reticular formation.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
