Neurons with axons that extend to the contralateral side of the spinal cord-commissural interneurons (CINs)-coordinate left/right alternation during locomotion. Little is known about the organization of CINs in the mammalian spinal cord. To determine the numbers, distribution, dendritic morphologies

There is strong evidence that neural circuits underlying certain rhythmic motor behaviors are located in the spinal cord. Such local central pattern generators are thought to coordinate the activity of motoneurons through specific sets of last-order premotor interneurons that establish monosynaptic
## Abstract The nicotine‐induced modulation of the synaptic activity was studied in cultured spinal cord neurons from embryonic rats, using the patch‐clamp technique, alone or in combination with Ca^2+^ imaging. Morphologically, neurons could be divided into two populations: multipolar nerve cells
