title: [Pharmacological actions on the activity of muscle spindles induced by electrostimulation of the pericruciate cortex in the cat].
abstract: In anesthetized cats, effects of a number of neuroactive substances on results of local electrical stimulation of the motor (field 4) and supplementory motor (field 6) cortex were studied in intra - and extrafusal elements of the foot flexors. Flaxedil in subparalytic doses blocked selectively the contractions of extrafusal fibers whereas facilitating effects on activity of muscle afferents from the fields 4 and 6 were preserved which attests a possibility of cortical regulation of the gamma-system irrespective of alpha-motoneurons. Nembutal (5 mg/kg) rapidly suppressed the cortico-fugal excitatory effects which was easily opposed by bemegride. Aminasine (3-5 micrograms/kg) completely and for a long time blocked the cortical-motoneuronal influences. The cortico-reticular projections, anatomically well developed in cats, are supposed to be an essential component of the systems originating in the field 4 and particularly field 6.
