METHODS These experiments were done on cats decerebrated by intercollicular section, using pentothal or ether as the anaesthetic. The decerebration was performed when the animal had been mounted in the frame and all other dissection had been completed. In most experiments transection of the spinal cord was made in the first lumbar segment after local injection of cocaine. Special reference will be made to the experiment in which the cord was divided more rostrally. Since the anaes-thetics employed were all short-acting the results may be considered to be from animals virtually unanaesthetized.In most of the experiments the synaptic actions were measured by their action on testing mono-synaptic reflexes recordedin the ventral roots (Renshaw, 1940; Lloyd, 1941, 1946a). In some experiments intracellular records were taken from motoneurones, the excitatory and inhibitory post-synaptic potentials (EPSP and IPSP) giving a direct measure of the respective synaptic actions (Eccles, Eccles & Lundberg, 1957a, b, c; Eccles & Lundberg, 1959). In order to investi-
