Core Switching

Neurons located in the switching nuclei transmit nerve impulses from the afferent (sensitive) to the efferent (motor) pathway. This allows you to regulate muscle sensitivity and strength, as well as control body movements.

Switching nuclei are located in the spinal cord, in the medulla oblongata and in the cerebellum. They play an important role in regulating movement and coordinating the body, as well as processing information received from the senses.

For example, switching nuclei in the spinal cord control the transmission of nerve impulses from motor neurons to muscles. If muscles receive too many nerve impulses, it can lead to cramps or spasms.

In addition, switching nuclei are involved in the regulation of muscle tone and strength. When we want to lift an arm or leg, switch neurons send signals to motor neurons, which control muscle function.

Thus, the switching nuclei play an important role in controlling movement and coordination of the body, as well as in regulating muscle sensitivity and strength. Without them, our ability to move would be limited.



The switching nucleus is part of the nervous system located in the brain and spinal cord, which is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses between afferent (sensitive) and efferent pathways. The function of the switch nuclei is to determine what information will be transferred to the next brain area or motor neuron.

Switching nuclei play an important role in the processing and interpretation of sensory information, ensuring synchronization between incoming stimuli and motor responses. Without the function of the switch nuclei, the nervous system would not be able to control the motor functions that are required for activities such as walking, speaking, breathing and digestion.
