Information processed by dorsal horn spinocerebellar tract neurones in the cat (original) (raw)

This research investigates a group of spinocerebellar tract neurons located in the dorsal horn of the midlumbar spinal cord of cats, specifically those outside Clarke's column. These neurons process information from both exteroceptors and proprioceptors, exhibiting significant excitation from muscle nerve stimulation, primarily through group II afferents. The findings suggest that these neurons may play a role in providing information about limb position and their responses to various afferents, including both excitatory and inhibitory signals.
