(6) The reflex connexions from muscle afferents and ventral root fibres to the motoneurones of the muscles biventer-cervicis, complexus, sternocleidomastoid, trapezius and splenius, the principal muscles involved in head movement in the cat, were studied with the technique of intracellular recording.
(7) Ultrastructural study of the M. complexus muscle of the chick embryo has demonstrated two populations of fibres: the more common is the normal myotube or muscle fibre, which was observed in various stages of development; the other shows myofibrillar contractions which, at their greatest degree, produce the appearance of an amorphous mass of myofilaments.
(8) Such characteristic head posture was produced by successful kainic acid injections as well as by electrolytic lesions, suggesting that it was not due to damage of nerve fibers passing through the INC, but was produced most probably by damage of nerve cells in the INC.
