Do propriospinal neurons contribute to transmission of the locomotor command signal in adult mammals?

Long projections from the brainstem to the lumbar cord activate locomotion. Using in vitro neonatal rats our laboratory showed that relay (propriospinal - PS) neurons also contribute to transmission of the locomotor signal. This thesis examines whether locomotor-related PS neurons exist in adult mam...
