Some problems of projections and actions of cortico- and rubro-spinal fibres.

A review of a number of known, partly known and to be established properties of the cortico- and rubro-spinal tract systems in relation to: (1) multiple projections of individual neurones, or functional subgroups of neurones in the motor cortex and in the red nucleus, (2) identification of spinal target cells of these neurones, and (3) the mechanisms of interactions between the two systems.
