[Comparative neurophysiologic characteristics of cold and caudate tremor].

In experiments on cats cold tremor and tremor induced by oxotremorine injection into the caudate nucleus (caudate tremor) were compared. According to the data obtained from the analysis of motor unit discharges, a conclusion is made that both models may be regarded as analogs of physiological tremor. Selective inhibition of caudate tremor by scopolamine hydrobromide does not support the suggestion that it can serve as a model of pathological postural tremor.
