Abstract
Direct electrical excitation of the intact medullary pyramids evokes a complex cortical response. When the pyramidal tract was dissected away from the bulb and stimulated in isolation. the antidromic cortical response consisted of a simple, positive potential, regardless of the stimulus parameters. This finding necessitates a reinterpretation of previous results obtained by stimulation of the intact pyramids.Keywords
