Functional properties of the cerebellorubral synapses in the cat.

Facilitation of cerebellorubral transmission was illustrated in nembutalized cats on paired stimulation of the cerebellar nucleus interpositus by an example of monosynaptic EPSPs of the rubrospinal neurons. It was found that the facilitation stated is not determined by the change in the presynaptic volley of impulses. There is reason to believe that the facilitation is determined by specific features of functioning of the cerebellar synapses on the red nucleus neurons.
