Pyramidal tract neurons receptive to different forelimb joints act differently during locomotion.
During locomotion, motor cortical neurons projecting to the pyramidal tract (PTNs) discharge in close relation to strides. How their discharges vary based on the part of the body they influence is not well understood. We addressed this question with regard to joints of the forelimb in the cat. During simple and ladder locomotion, we compared the activity of four groups of PTNs with somatosensor...

23 During locomotion, motor cortical neurons projecting to the pyramidal tract 24 (PTNs) discharge in close relation to strides. How their discharges vary based on the part 25 of the body they influence is not well understood. We addressed this question with regard 26 to joints of the forelimb in the cat. During simple and ladder locomotion, we compared 27 the activity of four groups of PTNs wi...
متن کاملForelimb muscle activity during equine locomotion.
Few quantitative data exist to describe the activity of the distal muscles of the equine forelimb during locomotion, and there is an incomplete understanding of the functional roles of the majority of the forelimb muscles. Based on morphology alone it would appear that the larger proximal muscles perform the majority of work in the forelimb, whereas the smaller distal muscles fulfil supplementa...
متن کاملHow to enhance ipsilateral actions of pyramidal tract neurons.
We have shown previously that ipsilateral pyramidal tract (PT) neurons facilitate the actions of reticulospinal neurons on feline motoneurons (Edgley et al., 2004), which indicates that they might assist the recovery of motor functions after injuries of contralateral corticospinal neurons. Nevertheless, stimulation of ipsilateral PT fibers alone only rarely evoked any synaptic actions in motone...
متن کاملElectromyographic response to displacement of different forelimb joints in the squirrel monkey.
The electromyographic (EMG) reflex response evoked in muscles stretched by imposed angular joint displacement has previously been studied in a variety of muscles and species. In most muscles studied, the EMG response consists of an initial burst of activity at latencies comparable to tendon tap responses followed by one or more bursts of EMG activity occurring at latencies less than somatosenso...
