Journal ArticleDOI

Control of locomotion in the decerebrate cat

TL;DR: Oligosynaptic reflex pathways that control locomotion can be recalibrated after injury in a manner that appears to be functionally related to the recovery of the animal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human flexor reflexes

TL;DR: Recovery curves demonstrate very long-lasting changes in flexor reflex excitability in normal subjects and patients with `spasticity' from spinal lesions, which differs in patients with`spasticities' from lesions rostral to the brain-stem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sites and mode of termination of reticulo-spinal fibers in the cat. an experimental study with silver impregnation methods.

TL;DR: Following lesions in the brain stem reticular formation in 20 cats the ensuing degeneration within the spinal cord has been studied with silver impregnation methods with special reference to the laminar organization of the gray matter described by Rexed.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the descending control of the lumbosacral spinal cord from the "mesencephalic locomotor region".

TL;DR: The results suggest that the effects of continuous stimulation of a region below the inferior coliculus can induce locomotion on the treadmill of precollicular, postmammilar cats are induced by a slow fiber system, that releases the activity of the spinal stepping generating neurones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reticulospinal inhibition of transmission in reflex pathways.

TL;DR: The effect of electrical stimulation of the brain stem on reflex transmission has been investigated in decerebrate cats after partial transection of the spinal cord.
