title: Human motor activity in decerebrate states and their sequelae.
abstract: The behaviour of the motor activity was investigated in a selected group of neurosurgical patients with diverse cerebral and spinal lesions, as well as in a group of healthy controls. Under standard conditions the EMGs were simultaneously recorded from six muscles, and the time-voltage integral of the muscle action potentials were continuously recorded. In the foregoing work the behaviour of the motor activity in the decerebrate state and its sequelae is described.
