Conclusions
-
1.
The character of activity of an average of 83.9% of motor cortical neurons in the cat during the 200 msec before the beginning of an instrumental basic movement is constant for that given movement and is independent of the type of stimulus triggering it (P=0.01).
-
2.
At the level of the motor cortex there is a population of neurons whose activity correlates with the particular phases of movement of the animal's limb irrespective of the type of stimulus triggering that movement.
