Abstract

Responses of neurons in the medial ponto-medullary reticular formation to cortical, tectal and cutaneous stimuli were studied in cerebellectomized cats under chloralose-urethan or pentobarbital anesthesia. Reticulospinal neurons were identified by their antidromic responses to stimulation of the cervical and lumbar spinal cord. The reticulospinal axons of neurons located in the caudal part of n.r. gigantocellularis tended to have slower conduction velocities than axons of neurons in more rostral regions.
