pubmed-article:8350141pubmed:abstractText1. The pattern of discharge of medullary reticulospinal neurons, identified by antidromic stimulation applied at the L1-L2 segment of the spinal cord, was studied during fictive locomotion, occurring spontaneously, or evoked by stimulation of the mesencephalic locomotor region in high-decerebrate, paralyzed cats. Unitary recordings were made in the medial reticular formation (P5.0-14.0 mm; L0.5-2.0 mm), and the fictive locomotor pattern was monitored by recording the electroneurogram (ENG) of representative flexor and extensor muscle nerves from each of the four limbs. 2. In total, 117 reticulospinal neurons were recorded in 15 cats. Among these, 73.5% (86/117) modified their discharge at the onset of locomotion. These cells were divided into three subpopulations: 34/86 of the cells always maintained a fixed temporal relationship with the activity of one of the recorded nerves (ENG-related = 39.6%); the pattern of discharge of 42/86 cells was related to the locomotor rhythm [(LR-related-48%)] but was not temporally correlated with any of the recorded nerves; and the remaining 10 cells increased their firing frequency at the onset of locomotion but remained tonic (TONIC-11.6%). 3. Of the ENG-related neurons, 64.8% were temporally correlated to extensor nerve activity, whereas the remaining 35.2% were correlated to flexor nerves. These neurons were either related to forelimb (55.9%) or hindlimb (44.1%) nerves lying either ipsilateral (38.2%) or contralateral (61.8%) to the recording site. A few neurons (n = 3; 8.8%) were related to nerve activity of more than one limb. 4. The pattern of discharge of the LR-related neurons, although not correlated to the activity of any one recorded nerve, could be preferentially related to the locomotor rhythm in either the forelimbs (12/23) or hindlimbs (11/23). 5. ENG- and LR-related reticulospinal neurons were intermingled in the medial reticular formation. In both cases, cells related to the forelimbs were located more dorsally than those related to the hindlimbs. It is suggested that both the ENG- and LR-related neurons represent a single functional population of reticulospinal neurons that is part of an intrinsically organized reticulospinal system that functions to coordinate the activity of the skeletal musculature. 6. The present results show that the majority of reticular neurons projecting as far as the lumbar spinal cord are phasically modulated during locomotion, even in the absence of phasic peripheral afferent inputs. Moreover, the complexity of the discharge patterns in paralyzed animals was found to be similar to that observed in the intact cat.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)lld:pubmed
