Abstract

Local microinjections of harmaline evoked sustained rhythmic activity in the inferior olive of decerebrate cats. Harmaline appears to exert its action within restricted areas of the inferior olivary complex: the caudal halves of the dorsal and medial accessory nuclei. Since the highly synchronized activity generated by harmaline can be attributed to extensive electrotonic coupling between olivary neurones, it is postulated that such a coupling mechanism is weaker if not absent in the principal olive and in the rostral parts of the accessory nuclei.
