1) Experiments were carried out on 80 dece-rebrated cats for the purpose of analyzing longitudinal sensorimotor reflex systems and pathways. Two different longitudinal reflex systems are encountered: one, propriospinal (PS), the other spino-bulbo-spinal (SBS)

2) Stimulation of the spinal dorsal root (or cutaneous nerve), yields two reflex responses from the spinal ventral root (or flexor motor nerve), segmental mono-, polysynaptic and de-layed reflexes (SBS, 25-30 msec. latency), which are differentially susceptible to asphy-xia and anesthetics.

3) PS and SBS reflexes have apparently analogous counterparts which can be recorded from all segments of the spinal cord above and below the level stimulated. Latencies for the PS become steadily longer in both directions along the spinal cord away from the site of stimulation. Latencies for the SBS response become steadily shorter as one records from segments closser to the medulla oblongata, no matter what is the level of stimulation. This observation seems to require that motor expression of the SBS reflex system is in reaction to a volley of impulses descending the spinal cord.

4) Several lines of evidence (response laten-cies, partical brain-stem transection, transi-ent, cooling, and local distruction) indicate that the relay for the SBS system is located in the caudal part of the medulla oblongata, near the midline, extending about 5-6mm forward from a few millimeters above the level of the obex.

5) The PS system is sufficient within the spinal cord. Its pathways are relatively slo-wly conducting (20m/sec) and show evidence of abundant crossing of the spinal cord. In contrast, the SBS system involves a relay in the bulbar reticular formation and re-entry into the spinal cord from above downward before initiating its reflex effects. The path-way is rapidly conducting (60m/sec) during ascent, and relatively more slowly conducting (30m/sec) during descent. There is no eviden-ce of crossing of this pathways during either its ascending or its descending trajectories along the spinal cord.
