[The reaction of cat cervical spine interneurons to stimulation of the parietal zone of the cortex].

Neuronal responses of the spinal cord cervical segment in cat to stimulation of parietal and pericruciate areas of the neocortex had very similar parameters. Mono- and polysynaptic connections of the parietal cortex with the cervical cord neurons were revealed. The two cortical areas were found to exert effects of interaction on the same particular neurons. Possible participation of parietal cortex in the motor control is discussed.
