Locomotor capacities after complete and partial lesions of the spinal cord.
This paper first reviews some of the observations made on the locomotor capabilities of several animal species with a special emphasis on cats and including primates and man after complete spinal lesions. We show that animals can perform well-coordinated walking movements of the hindlimbs when they are placed on a treadmill belt and this locomotion is also adaptable to speed and perturbations. ...
متن کاملDisruption of left-right reciprocal coupling in the spinal cord of larval lamprey abolishes brain-initiated locomotor activity.
In this study, contributions of left-right reciprocal coupling mediated by commissural interneurons in spinal locomotor networks to rhythmogenesis were examined in larval lamprey that had longitudinal midline lesions in the rostral spinal cord [8 --> 30% body length (BL), relative distance from the head] or caudal spinal cord (30 --> 50% BL). Motor activity was initiated from brain locomotor co...
متن کاملPlasticity of connections underlying locomotor recovery after central and/or peripheral lesions in the adult mammals.
This review discusses some aspects of plasticity of connections after spinal injury in adult animal models as a basis for functional recovery of locomotion. After reviewing some pitfalls that must be avoided when claiming functional recovery and the importance of a conceptual framework for the control of locomotion, locomotor recovery after spinal lesions, mainly in cats, is summarized. It is c...
متن کاملRecovery of locomotion after partial spinal cord lesions in cats: assessment using behavioral, electrophysiological and imaging techniques.
This short review summarizes experimental findings made after spinal cord injury, mainly in cats. After a complete spinal injury, cats re-express hindlimb locomotion after 2-3 weeks because of a spinal locomotor circuitry named the central pattern generator or CPG. To investigate whether such circuits are also implicated in the recovery of locomotion after partial spinal lesions, we have used a...
متن کاملElimination of Left-Right Reciprocal Coupling in the Adult Lamprey Spinal Cord Abolishes the Generation of Locomotor Activity
The contribution of left-right reciprocal coupling between spinal locomotor networks to the generation of locomotor activity was tested in adult lampreys. Muscle recordings were made from normal animals as well as from experimental animals with rostral midline (ML) spinal lesions (~13%→35% body length, BL), before and after spinal transections (T) at 35% BL. Importantly, in the present study ac...
