The cerebellum, known for its role in coordination and motor adaptation, is hypothesized to travel through the thalamus in its signaling to and from the cerebral cortex, specifically through the ventral medial (VM) and ventral lateral (VL) thalamic nuclei. The thalamus is located within the diencephalon between the midbrain and cerebral cortex. It is an important relay center between the cerebellum and the motor cortex.
Isolation and recording of electrical activity from neurons in the ventral medial and ventral lateral thalamic nuclei in rats is the first step to study the thalamic response to electrical cerebellar stimulation in future experiments. …
