WHAT DOES DECEREBRATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Decerebration

Decerebration is the elimination of cerebral brain function in an animal by removing the cerebrum, cutting across the brain stem, or severing certain arteries in the brain stem. Decerebration describes the ligation along the neural axis in distinct parts of the brain in experimental animals. Generally lower decerebration, middle decerebration and upper decerebration. As a result the animal abolishes certain reflexes which are integrated in different parts of the brain. Furthermore the reflexes which are functional will be hyperreactive due to the removal of inhibiting higher brain centers. Lower decerebration results in a "Bulbospinal" animal: Reflexes which are integrated within the spinal cord and medulla oblongata are functional, reflexes integrated in midbrain and cortex are absent. The most obvious accentuation is seen in the tonic labyrinthine reflexes, the otolithic organs mediates input about the gravitational force exerted on the body and the labyrinthine reflex acts on the extensor muscles in order to resist this gravitational force.
