Abstract：
:In walking cats decerebrated at the premammillary level, single neurone activity of Purkinje cells (P-cells) with long corticofugal axons was recorded in the cerebellar vermis. The P-cells (N = 145) were identified as they showed spontaneous simple and complex spikes and also antidromic activation from Deiters' nucleus. These P-cells were classified into 6 groups according to the receptive fields of the climbing fibre responses (CFRs) which were evoked by electrical stimulation in each limb at the radial and sciatic nerve bundles. One group designated as forelimb units received the CFRs from both forelimbs and from neither hindlimb. According to previous studies, this group of P-cells is thought to make inhibitory connections with Deiters neurones projecting to the ipsilateral cervicothoracic spinal cord. For the forelimb units, two types of discharge patterns for simple spikes were found in relation to limb movements during locomotion. Type I cells showed one peak in their firing rate in the late swing (E1) or early stance (E2) phase of the ipsilateral forelimb. Type II cells showed two peaks and two valleys during one step cycle: one peak was in the E1 phase, the other in the late stance (E3) or early swing (F) phase; each of the two valleys followed the peak. Complex spikes of the forelimb units occurred more frequently in the E1 phase than during the other phases. The increased activity of simple and complex spikes of the forelimb units in the E2 phase is suggested to have a functional significance in preparing the appropriate floor reaction forces that appear upon touchdown on the ipsilateral forelimb.
