Under the influence of investigations on decerebrate rigidity the tonic cervical reflexes observed in man were at first attributed to phenomena of decerebration similar to that occurring in other animals, or, at least, they were thought to be connected with lesions of the extrapyramidal system. Late
As part of our studies of the spinal circuitry of the tonic neck reflex, we have recorded extracellularly from Ia reciprocal inhibitory neurons of the decerebrate, labyrinthectomized cat. The activity of a majority of neurons driven by stimulation of the quadriceps nerve was modulated by sinusoidal
Both human and animal studies show that irritation of airway mucosa elicits a variety of reflex responses such as coughing, apnoea, and laryngeal closure. Most of the information concerning these reflex responses were obtained in anesthetized conditions with little applicability to awake conditions.
