[Effect of stimulation of the sensomotor cortex on the activity of the lumbar motor center in rats during ontogenesis].
In rats ageing up to 3 weeks, studies have been made on the reactions of the spinal motor center to long-lasting rhythmic stimulation of sensorimotor cortex. It was found that in 5-day old rats specific periodic pattern of the activity may be recorded similar to the autorhythmic spontaneous activity described in our earlier papers. In older animals periodic pattern of reaction can also be observed, but it may be modulated by stimulation. Beginning from the 12th day, periodic pattern of reaction is transformed into aperiodic one typical for adult animals. From the 3rd week of life, the inhibitory effect of motor cortex stimulation on locomotor activity could be observed.
