Effect of Vestibular Stimulation on Strychnine-Induced Activity of the Spinal Cord

Abstract
Influence of vestibular reflex upon the strychnine-induced activity of the spinal cord was studied in cats. Inhibitory and excitatory effects were seen depending upon the experimental conditions. The balance is enhanced in the sense of inhibition. Role played upon the central inhibitory mechanism by the anterior lobe of the cerebellum and the lumbosacral segments of the spinal cord was also investigated and discussed.
