Temporal characteristics of responses of the lateral nucleus neurons to electrocutaneous stimulation of limbs was studied in alert cats. Spinal afferent input to lateral nucleus neurons was found to exist. Effects from the forelimbs, particularly ipsilateral ones, are predominant. The somatosensory signals to the lateral nucleus neurons in alert cats seem to be conducted mainly via pathways involving brainstem structures and not the cerebellar cortex.
