1. An attempt has been made to elucidate how direct stimulation of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR, with Horsley-Clarke coordinates P2, L4, and H0) is transmitted through pons spinal cord where a stepping generator presumed exist. 2. A longitudinal strip, termed "pontine region" (PLR), was identified. It extends ventrocaudally throughout lateral pontine tegmentum (P3-P9, L4 about 2 mm beneath floor IVth ventricle). 3. Stimulation this strip at P4-5 P8-9 levels generated hindlimb or...
1. The contribution of postural tonus to controlled locomotion elicited by the stimulation mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) was studied in acute precolicular-postmammillary decerebrate (mesencephalic) cat. 2. A microelectrode placed unilateral MLR and another systematically at 1-mm increments throughout pons (H--4 H--1O) level ranging from P2 P11 dorsoventrally mediolaterally 0 L or R6. Depending on general condition animal, stimuli through this second electrode were delivered preceding,...
The neuronal mechanism which gives rise to the synchronization of motor-unit discharges has been inferred from an analysis interspike intervals individual recorded soleus muscle. motor units were divided into two groups on basis characteristic changes in their spike trains. first group maintained a stationary discharge pattern throughout process with firing rate approximately 10 spikes/s. Small unidentified simultaneously gradually grouped around spikes unit and this process, high-frequency...
