Functional significance of ventral descending tracts of the spinal cord in the cat

Z Afelt. Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars). 1974.

Abstract

Cats with an incomplete transection of the spinal cord at the Th10-12 level (various parts of the ventral and lateral funiculi intact) were examined 3-18 months after the operation. The walking, standing and righting reflexes were preserved in all the preparations with ventral funiculus spared. However, these reactions were altered in comparison with normal animals.
