An efferent connection of lobus caudalis cells of the cerebellum of the electric fish Eigenmannia sp. has been verified by means of electrical stimulation and recording techniques. Stimulating in the lobus caudalis, an orthodromic activation has been found in the reticular formation of the midbrain tegmentum. Switching recording and stimulating electrodes led to an antidromic activation in cells of the lobus caudalis. The area identified in the midbrain corresponds to what, in higher vertebrates, is called the red nucleus.
