Disjunctive eye movement evoked by microstimulation in an extrastriate cortical area of the cat.

abstract：:In lightly alpha-chloralose anaesthetized cats, activity was recorded simultaneously from 2-4 primary muscle spindle afferents from triceps surae and/or posterior biceps and semitendinosus muscles. Increased tension in medial or lateral collateral ligament was found to evoke changes in the responses of the primary spi...
