Plastic Reorganization in the Cerebellothalamic System after Partial Deafferentation of the Ventrolateral Nucleus of the Thalamus

摘要

A method based on the retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase after preliminary (three months) lesioning of the contralateral intermediate nucleus of the cerebellum or lateral vestibular nucleus of Deiters in adult cats demonstrated the formation of new ipsilateral thalamic projections from all three central nuclei of the cerebellum and the nuclei of the vestibular complex.
