Stimulation of the contralateral pyramid and intracellular recording from forelimb motoneurones was used to investigate corticimotoneuronal pathways in the cat. A train of pyramidal volleys evokes short-latency EPSPS in flexor motoneurones and in many extensor motoneurones. The latency for the onset
A previously described inhibitory trisynaptic cortico-motoneuronal pathway (Illert et al., 1976a) was analysed in order to identify the two relay stations. Intracellular recording was made from motoneurones to elbow muscles. Corticospinal fibres were stimulated in the contralateral medullary pyramid
The descending pathways responsible for eliciting forelimb stepping are located in the lateral funiculus (Yamaguchi 1986). In order to determine into which spinal segments the descending pathways project and to know the projections and functions of the other descending system, the ventral funicular
