Effects of Red Nucleus Microstimulation on the Locomotor Pattern and Timing in the Intact Cat: A Comparison With the Motor Cortex

Effects of red nucleus microstimulation on the locomotor pattern and timing in the intact cat: a comparison with the motor cortex. To determine the extent to which the rubrospinal tract is capable of modifying locomotion in the intact cat, we applied microstimulation (cathodal current, 330 Hz; pu…
