Abstract:

Recent literature suggests that voluntary movements are not so closely connectedwith the pyramidal system as was previously assumed. For example, some clinicaldata show that after a unilateral section of the pyramidal tract patients are ableto perform purposeful movements, even in the distal parts of the affected extremities[1]. On the other hand, experiments with sensori-motor cortex ablations in cats[3], [4] and dogs [2], [5] have shown that various instrumental conditioned reflexes(CR) are disturbed to various degrees by the same cortical lesion: while some ofthe CR swere relatively unimpaired after this operation, others were greatly depressed.In view of these facts it seemed interesting to investigate the effect of pyramidotomyon various instrumental CR’s.
