decerebration

Lower decerebration results in a "Bulbospinal" animal:

If the superior colliculus is damaged, it is called decerebration and causes decerebrate rigidity.

Rats that have had the motor neurons in the brain stem disconnected from the neural circuits of the cerebral hemispheres (decerebration), are unable to approach and eat food.

He decided to test his hypothesis by adapting a technique of decerebration in cats, that left the forebrain in situ after a mesencephalic transection, and applying it to the intercollicular section.

He compared the order of individual motorneurons firing (See recruitment) during a stretch of the triceps muscle of a decerebrate cat (See decerebration) to the amplitude of their impulses in order to determine if and when each size motorneuron fired.
