Mesencephalic reticular influence on electrical activities of the pontine reticular formation.

چکیده
Recently evidence has accumulated that there are various interactions between the different levels of the central reticular core of the brain stem. (DELL, BONVALLET and HUGELIN 1961 ; MORUZZI 1964). The present study was initiated to know how the mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF) acts to regulate activity of the pontine reticular formation (PRF). This MRF-originated, descending effect constitutes one part of the interactions within the reticular core. The results obtained suggest that the descending connection from the MRF to the PRF was not diffuse, but rather specific.

Induction of rhythmic jaw movements by stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation in the guinea pig.
This study was designed to investigate whether stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF) induces rhythmic jaw movements (RJMs) and, if it does so, to determine the RJM-inducing region in the MRF in ketamine-anesthetized guinea pigs. The results were as follows: (1) Repetitive electrical stimulation of the MRF at the level of the red nucleus induced rhythmic EMG bursts in the an...
متن کاملA Comparison of Saccade Associated Neuronal Activity in the Primate Central Mesencephalic and Paramedian Pontine Reticular Formations
The oculomotor system must convert signals representing the target of an intended eye movement into appropriate input to drive the individual extraocular muscles. Neural models propose that this transformation may involve either a decomposition of the intended eye displacement signal into horizontal and vertical components or an implicit process whereby component signals do not predominate unti...
متن کاملThe Ascending Reticular Activating System from Pontine Reticular Formation to the Thalamus in the Human Brain
INTRODUCTION Action of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) on the cerebral cortex is responsible for achievement of consciousness. In this study, we attempted to reconstruct the lower single component of the ARAS from the reticular formation (RF) to the thalamus in the normal human brain using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). METHODS Twenty six normal healthy subjects were recruit...

متن کاملEffects of mesencephalic lesion on testes, seminal vesicles and adrenal glands of albino rats.
The role of mesencephalic reticular formation on testicular structure, seminal vesicles, adrenal glands and kidneys of albino rats was investigated. Mesencephalic reticular formation lesions were produced using two epoxy-coated stainless steel electrodes. Electrolytic lesions resulted in atrophy of the testes, seminal vesicles and adrenal glands. The degree of atrophy was statistically signific...
