Modulation Of Spontaneous and Evoked Chloralose Myoclonus by Cerebellar Stimulation in the Cat (Relation to Ramsey Hunt Syndrome)

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a special form of herpes zoster which is typically characterized by peripheral facial palsy and unilateral herpetic vesicles on the ear. These symptoms are often accompanied by vestibulocochlear dysfunction and other neurological and ophthalmological symptoms. The diagnosis and therapy requires a multidisciplinary approach. The authors present a typical case where the early administration of combined antiviral and systemic corticosteroid therapy led to complete recovery. The authors emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and adequate combination therapy, which improves the prognosis of this disease. Orv. Hetil., 2012, 153, 1281–1283.

Cerebellar Stimulation

In cats anesthetized with chloralose-urethane mixture, stimulation of an afferent nerve evoked a vasoconstrictor reflex (VCR) and a galvanic skin response (GSR) in the pads of the feet. Stimulation of the ventromedial medullary reticular substance at the level of the obex abolished the VCR and the GSR. VCR could also be reduced by occlusion during prolonged stimulation of another spinal or visceral afferent pathway. Medulla stimulation was effective without itself causing a sympathetic discharge to the paw, showing that inhibition rather than occlusion was operative. Anterior cerebellar stimulation also inhibited the VCR. Carotid sinus nerve stimulation did not abolish the VCR. It is concluded that the effective mechanism includes a bulbospinal inhibitory path projecting on a spinal vasoconstrictor reflex arc. This arrangement is similar to the descending pathways inhibiting other spinal reflexes but the VCR-inhibitory path can be activated independently of them.

Cerebellar Stimulation

AbstractNon-invasive cerebellar stimulation (NICS) aims to modulate cerebello-cerebral loops and cerebro-spinal loops, both for research and clinical applications. It is of paramount importance to establish and validate morphological and functional tools to quantify cerebellar reserve, defined as the capacity for restoration and compensation to pathology of the cerebellum. Using NICS without efforts to estimate cerebellar reserve will end up in conflicting results due to the very high heterogeneity of cerebellar disorders encountered in daily practice.
