Notes:
Abstract Sections of the medulla known as the locomotor strip were investigated during cat experiments using the horseradish peroxidase retrograde transport technique. The enzyme was administered under functional control (stimulating the injection site evoked locomotion). Results showed no evidence of a hypothetical column of cells either along the locomotor strip or medially to the strip. This would cast doubts on the existence of such a strip as a separate structural formation. It was shown by comparing findings from morphological research and experiments involving electrical stimulation that the bulbar locomotor strip may in fact consist of the spinal trigeminal tract and its nucleus. It is postulated that non-specific afferent activation of the brainstem reticular formation plays a crucial role in initiating locomotion.
