In four cats trained to respond with the placing of a fore-leg on a support to both tactile stimulation of the leg and to electrostimulation of the primary motor and sensory cortical areas, of the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus and of cerebral peduncles, the activity of 77 cortical neurones in the area of motor representation of anterior contralateral extremity was studied before the conditioned movements and during them. The pattern of activity in approximately 83.9% of the studied neurones 200 s before the instrumental placing movement was constant for this movement and did not depend on the type of its trigger (p = 0.01). The activity of such neurones probably reflects the formation of the program of the forthcoming movement at the motor cortex level.
在四只经过训练的猫中，当对其腿部进行触觉刺激以及对初级运动和感觉皮层区域、丘脑腹后外侧核和脑桥进行电刺激时，猫会通过将前肢放在支撑物上来做出反应。在此条件下，研究了对侧前肢运动代表区77个皮层神经元在条件运动前和运动过程中的活动。在工具性放置运动前200秒，约83.9%的被研究神经元的活动模式对于该运动是恒定的，且不依赖于其触发类型（p = 0.01）。此类神经元的活动可能反映了运动皮层水平上即将发生的运动程序的形成。
