Both the reticulospinal and corticospinal systems are known to control recruitment of upper limb muscles, yet no known studies have attempted to assess their combined effects in the same experiment in the awake, behaving primate. The purpose of this study is to present an approach for the analysis of the cooperative control from these two motor systems. Muscle responses to electrical stimulation in the reticulospinal system and corticospinal system alone or in combination were studied. The responses were categorized based on simple neural circuits that could explain the interactions of these systems. Five such circuits were identified that could explain 86% of the observed patterns of combined recruitment during stimulation. Improved understanding of the cooperation between these motor systems could provide insight for development of better rehabilitation approaches for stroke patients and others with movement disorders.

D011712 Pyramidal Tracts Fibers that arise from cells within the cerebral cortex, pass through the medullary pyramid, and descend in the spinal cord. Many authorities say the pyramidal tracts include both the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts.

D004525 Efferent Pathways Nerve structures through which impulses are conducted from a nerve center toward a peripheral site. Such impulses are conducted via efferent neurons (NEURONS, EFFERENT), such as MOTOR NEURONS, autonomic neurons, and hypophyseal neurons.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
