Limb coordinations during locomotion in amygdalar, rubral and funicular cats

The registration of the step phases and the relations between them for all of the four limbs were described in the amygdalar, rubral and funicular cats. The evident changes in motor behavior observed after damage of the amygdala and red nucleus did not result from coordination disorders. Conversely, the damage of the medial part of the lateral funiculus in the dorsally hemisected spinal cord disturbed the coordination between fore and hind limbs.
