The neural mechanisms underlying spontaneous tremor were investigated in monkeys. Tremor-producing ventromedial tegmental (VMT) lesions involve at least three major neural elements. (1) Parvocellular division of the red nucleus (RNpc); (2) cerebellothalamic fibers passing through the red nucleus, and, (3) nigrostriatal fibers. These three elements were destroyed stereotaxically in areas remote from the VMT area separately and/or in various combinations, and correlation between the site of lesions and tremor was made. Lesion-induced tremor appeared only when the three elements were destroyed. A possible, particular role of the RNpc in the production of the spontaneous tremor is discussed.
