Abstract

The effects of neck afferent stimulation on vestibulospinal neurons in Deiters' nucleus and in the descending nucleus, and the interaction of cervical and vestibular input, were examined extracellularly in decerebrate, decerebellate cats. Many of the vestibulospinal neurons were identified as having axons in the lateral or medial vestibulospinal tract (LVST or MVST) and as being driven antidromically from C3 or C6.
