Descending pathways mediating disynaptic excitation of dorsal neck motoneurones in the cat: facilitatory interactions
Abstract
Facilitatory interactions between disynaptic EPSPs evoked from the contralateral tectum, ipsilateral tegmentum and contra- and/or ipsilateral pyramid have been investigated in dorsal neck motoneurones of the cat. Monosynaptic convergence on common intercalated neurones was found from ipsi- and contralateral pyramidal, contralateral tectal and ipsilateral tegmental fibres. In addition, disynaptic facilitation was observed from ipsilateral pyramidal fibres on disynaptic contralateral pyramidal EPSPs. Transection of cortico-fugal fibres in the pyramid showed that the location of the interactions occurred in the lower brain stem, suggesting that reticulospinal neurones are mediating the effects.
