“…activity has been recorded from individual spinal premotor interneurons during both fictive swimming and fictive struggling in embryonic tadpoles (Soffe et al, 1984;Soffe, 1993). Individual cervical propriospinal neurons in the cat have been shown to be rhythmically active during fictive respiration, in addition to fictive vomiting, fictive coughing, or fictive swallowing (Nonaka and Miller, 199 1;Grelot et al, 1993). Rhythmic activity has also been recorded from Ia inhibitory interneurons, ventral spinocerebellar tract neurons, and Renshaw cells in the cat spinal cord during actual or fictive scratching (Arshavsky et al, 1978;Deliagina and Orlovsky, 1980;Deliagina and Feldman, I98 1) and actual or fictive locomotion (Arshavsky et al, 1972;Feldman and Orlovsky, 1975;Pratt and Jordan, 1987) although scratching and locomotion were elicited during different recordings.…”
