Summary Chronic experiments were performed on rabbits with electrodes implanted into the brain. The role of the brain stem reticular formation in the origin of motor disturbances in tetanus was established. As demonstrated, aminazine blocking the effect of the stem reticular formation eliminates the participation of nonspecific afferent stimulations (such as sound, tactile, etc.) in the symptom complex of tetanus; this evidently conditions the mechanism of its therapeutic effect in this disease.
