Simultaneous bidirectional hindlimb locomotion in decerebrate cats

Abstract We show that epidural spinal cord stimulation can elicit stable bidirectional locomotion of decerebrate cats on a split-belt treadmill. The stepping pattern of one limb was similar to unidirectional forward walking and, the other—was similar to unidirectional backward walking. This confirms...
