The paralemniscal pontine reticular neurons (PLRF) exhibited burst discharges when thalamic cats stepped on the moving treadmill, during stepping induced by mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) stimulation, fictive locomotion by MLR stimulation after immobilization and during MLR stimulation after transection at the C2 level. These results imply that MLR stimulation can evoke burst discharge within the brainstem which may obtain alternating limb movements via descending tract to the cervical cord.
当丘脑猫在移动的跑步机上行走时、在中脑运动区（MLR）刺激诱发的行走过程中、固定后MLR刺激诱发的虚拟运动期间以及在C2水平横断后MLR刺激期间，脑桥旁正中网状神经元（PLRF）表现出爆发性放电。这些结果表明，MLR刺激可诱发脑干内的爆发性放电，其可能通过下行通路至颈髓获得交替性肢体运动。
