LOCOMOTOR CONTROL IN MACAQUE MONKEYS
Abstract
We carried out experiments on young adult macaque monkeys (M.fascicularis) in an attempt to establish whether or not primates possess a locomotor control system consisting of spinal pattern generators modulated by brain-stem locomotor regions. We could not induce 'spinal stepping' in our subjects after spinal cord transection. Sparing of pathways contained in the central sector of the white matter of the cord was sufficient for stepping and walking. 'Controlled locomotion' was elicited in thalamic monkeys by electrical stimulation of the posterior subthalamic region or the midbrain tegmentum just ventral to the inferior colliculi. We conclude that there are significant homologies between this primate species and the cat regarding the probable existence of supraspinal locomotor control structures, but it seems that the presumed spinal step generators in monkeys depend more on supraspinal inputs than they do in cats.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
