    Notes: Summary In cats anesthetized with halothane the influence of central stimulation upon the dynamic sensitivity of muscle spindles in the flexor digitorum longus muscle was studied. One mesencephalic and one medullary region were found which caused an increase in dynamic spindle sensitivity when stimulated electrically. Histological identification of stimulating points showed these regions to be the caudal pole of the red nucleus and the inferior olivary nucleus respectively. Lesions in the olive decreased rubral effects on the spindles, indicating that the red nucleus and the olive are parts of the same system descending to dynamic fusimotor neurones. Further evidence for this point are given in a following paper (APPELBERG 1967).

    Notes: Summary In the preceding paper (Appelberg and Molander 1967) the caudal part of the red nucleus and parts of the inferior olivary nucleus were shown to cause increased dynamic sensitivity of muscle spindles when stimulated repetitively. The results to be presented will show that single shock electrical stimulation in the caudal part of the red nucleus evoked a field potential in the inferior olivary nucleus. This response seemed to be monosynaptically evoked and was observed only in parts of the olive where repetitive stimulation caused increased dynamic sensitivity of muscle spindles. Stimulation in the red nucleus as well as single shock stimulation in the actual part of the inferior olive also caused a potential in the vermis of the posterior cerebellar lobe. In conditioning — test experiments with the two stimuli the conditioning shock was seen to cause alternating periods of decreased and increased responsiveness in the pathway concerned. The same type of interaction was seen between two responses caused by double shock stimulation in the red nucleus. It is concluded that information from the caudal part of the red nucleus reaches dynamic fusimotor neurones in the spinal cord via a relay in the inferior olivary nucleus; an additional relay in the pathway is also predicted. The cerebellum seems to receive information about ongoing activity in the pathway but mesencephalic stimulation was seen to cause spindle effects also in decerebellated animals.
