The excessive muscle tone produced in decerebrate
rigidity can be reversed by . . .
Decerebrate rigidity is caused by increased reflex muscle
spindle activity. Stimulation of group Ia afferents would enhance, not diminish, this reflex activity.
Cutting the dorsal roots would block the reflexes. Stimulation of alpha- and gamma- motoneurons would stimulate muscles directly.
