The activity of interneurons during locomotion in the in vitro necturus spinal cord.

Abstract:

:1. Less than two segments of the cervical spinal cord of the mudpuppy (Necturus maculatus) is sufficient to generate a locomotor rhythm with application of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA). We have recorded intracellularly from rhythmically active interneurons in these segments and classified them according to their phase of firing within the step cycle and their afferent input. 2. Four classes of interneurons were found: flexor, flexor-->extensor, extensor, and extensor-->flexor. Interneurons that burst during the transition from flexion to extension or vice versa are referred to as "transitional" interneurons and represent the majority (68%) of rhythmically active interneurons studied in the mudpuppy spinal cord. 3. All flexor interneurons received only inhibitory input from cutaneous and dorsal root afferents, whereas the flexor-->extensor interneurons that responded received only excitatory input from dorsal root and cutaneous afferents. All extensor interneurons and all but one extensor-->flexor interneuron received no afferent input from the cutaneous or dorsal root afferents we stimulated. 4. Other interneurons have been classified as "tonic" cells. They fire continuously when the mudpuppy is walking and are silent when the mudpuppy is not walking. These interneurons receive no afferent input from the sources tested and may be responsible for turning locomotion on and off. 5. In conclusion, the presence of many transitional interneurons with specific patterns of afferent input may be required for the phasing of legged locomotion. We believe the in vitro preparation of the mudpuppy spinal cord and forelimb is an excellent model for studying the firing properties of interneurons during legged locomotion.
