dc.description.abstract | Normal and abnormal development of movement in the rat were studied by investigating the growth and organization of the motor-sensory cortexcorticospinal tract system (MSC-CST) and the functional and morphologic effects of ablating the MSC or quadrants of it at different ages. Major growth of the MSC outflow, the CST, in the brain stem and rostral cord occurred in the second and third weeks postnatally, coinciding approximately with the normal mid-third week transition from infantile to mature locomotion. Ablation of the MSC at birth revealed that while the MSC-CST was not essential for ordinary locomotion on flat terrain, its presence hastened normal development of this kind of movement, and that it was absolutely essential for locomotion on difficult terrain. The MSC quadrants showed quite different, and in some domains mutually exclusive, CST projection patterns to forebrain, diencephalon, brain stem, and spinal destinations (determined by Fink-Heimer-Nauta fiber degeneration studies). Ablation of some quadrants produced distinctive syndromes of disordered movement: the posterolateral quadrant related to active grasping in positioning limbs, while the posteromedial quadrant related to tactile motorsensory positioning of limbs. Thus in addition to the classic somatotopic organization of the MSC, there was another kind of organization into regions concerned with components of integrated movement of a number of parts of the body. Several forms of aberrant circuitry developed after MSC ablations in infants, but their possible roles in functional adaptation remain to be determined. | en_US |
