It has been found that section of half the midbrain tegmentum in cats failed to prevent the afferent somatosensory projections from the foreleg to the ventrobasal nuclear complex of the contralateral thalamus. Specific evoked responses to the stimulation of the contralateral foreleg were recorded in this structure. These specific EP have the same latency as "lemniscal responses" (4-5 ms) and diminish the amplitude and duration of both components of the responses. Simultaneously, we have observed terminal axonal degeneration into the ventrobasal nuclear complex of the thalamus 5-7 days after the section of the contralateral midbrain tegmentum, using the electron microscopy method. All the results obtained indicate that the dorsal column nuclei have extra-lemniscal afferent connections with ventrolateral nuclear complex of the contralateral thalamus. These connections ascend in the back parts of the brainstem ipsilaterally to the corresponding pair of the dorsal column nuclei and rostrally to the midbrain on the contralateral side. |
