    Notes: Summary A topographical study of the cortico-rubrospinal pathway was conducted in cats anesthetized with chloralose. Extracellular unit recordings were made from cells in the red nucleus projecting to the spinal cord. They were identified by antidromic invasion following stimulation of their axones at the 2nd cervical and 9th thoracic levels of the spinal cord. I. The pericruciate cortical regions from which spikes could be induced in rubrospinal neurons were limited to the lateral part of the anterior sigmoid gyrus, the lateral sigmoid gyrus and the anterior part of the posterior sigmoid gyrus. No responses were obtained from stimulation of the medial part of the anterior sigmoid gyrus or the gyrus proreus. Compared to the somatotopic organization of the motor cortex for the cat described by Woolsey (1958), our results show that the rubrospinal cells receive projections from the motor cortex controlling proximal and distal muscles but not axial muscles. II. Neurons projecting to the cervico-thoracic cord receive afferents from the lateral part of the anterior sigmoid gyrus and the lateral sigmoid gyrus whereas those projecting to the lumbo-sacral cord receive projections from the entire surface of the sigmoid gyrus except the medial part of the anterior sigmoid gyrus and the gyrus proreus. III. A latero-medial organization of cells within the red nucleus was found according to the origin of their cortical afferents. Rubrospinal neurons with fibers terminating in the cervical or thoracic cord receive projections from the motor cortex controlling the proximal musculature of the forelimb when they are located in the dorso-lateral region of the nucleus and the entire forelimb motor cortex when they are located in the medial part of the nucleus. It is suggested that this organization may indicate a control of proximal forelimb musculature by dorsolateral rubrospinal cells and distal musculature by medial cells. IV. Rubrospinal cells placed medially in the nucleus receive more convergent projections (i.e. from a greater cortical surface) than cells placed more laterally. It was shown that for certain cells the convergence occurs in the direct pathway. These results are discussed in terms of a functional organization allowing coordinated movements of different segments of a single limb or of different limbs.

    Notes: Summary Responses of striate cortical neurones to bars of optimal orientation and width, moving with fixed velocity, were recorded in the lightly anaesthetized cat. Effects of periods of pre-adaptation with square-wave gratings of variable spatial frequency and velocity, drifting continuously in each cell's preferred or null directions, were investigated. Variations of cells' directional bias and responsiveness to oriented bars were assessed in relation to the degree and time-course of pre-adaptation to drifting gratings, compared with the preceding level of firing when exposed to uniform backgrounds of the same average luminance. All cells showed some susceptibility to pre-adapting moving gratings: subsequent responses to a bar were initially depressed in the direction of pre-adaptation and, in direction-biased or bidirectional cells, were enhanced in the opposite direction, compared with bar responses following exposure merely to a uniform background. These effects were strongest and most consistent amongst standard complex cells and weakest amongst special complex cells: maximal effects were obtained with adapting gratings of optimal velocity and spatial frequency.

    Notes: Summary We have recorded the direction of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) elicited by moving plaid patterns in order to dissociate the pathways that mediate horizontal OKN. The plaids used comprised two drifting sinusoidal gratings arranged such that their individual directions of drift were very different from the direction of coherent motion of the overall pattern. The direction of OKN with binocular viewing was close to the mean of the component directions, suggesting a dominant influence of cortical visual neurons that respond to oriented one-dimensional components of the image. But the direction of OKN was consistently shifted slightly towards the direction of motion of the overall pattern, suggesting a secondary influence responsive to pattern direction. OKN recordings obtained during monocular viewing suggest that this secondary influence reflects the direct retinal pathway to the brainstem structures mediating OKN.

    Notes: The preparation of some β-alkylaminobutyric-acid-amides from the corresponding crotonic acid amides and dimethyl or diethylamine under pressure at 100-150° is described. Two diethylamino acetic acid amides were prepared by reacting N-benzyl-chloracetamide or N-(pethoxybenzyl)-chloracetamide with diethylamine. All these β-dialkyl-aminobutyric and dialkylaminoacetic acid amides show local anaesthetic activity. Two of them (β-diethylaminobutyric acid anilide and β-diethylamino-butyric acid-p-phenetidide) show promise as long acting anaesthetics of low toxicity for nerve block anaesthesia, and are under clinical investigation.

    Notes: The rates of racemisation, under constant conditions of pH and temperature, of two series of ketones with an asymmetric C-atom in α have been determined. As would be expected, substituents in the α position to the keto group influence the rate of racemisation, and it has been found possible to assess the relative electron donating or electron attracting effect of aliphatic, aliphatic-aromatic or aromatic substituents by measuring their influence on the rate of racemisation of a ketone containing the substituent considered.

    Notes: Attempts to remove water from 3,4-di-p-anisyl-1-hexyn-3-ol in acid medium resulted in rearrangement according to Meyer-Schuster principally and to Rupe to a minor extent. None of the derivatives of these rearrangement products reached the oestrogenicity of stilboestrol. The dehydration of 3,4-di-p-anisyl-3-hexen-2-ol does not lead to the expected diene but to the corresponding methylether of the known 1-ethyl-2-p-hydroxyphenyl-3-methyl-5-hydroxyindene.

    Notes: The preparation and properties of further fatty acid anilides showing anaesthetic action are described and the relationship between chemical constitution and physiological effect is discussed. Two very active compounds having relatively low toxicities have been discovered, namely:-β-piperidino-n-butyric-acid-2,4-dichloranilide (XIV) and β-(2-methylpiperidino)-n-butyric-acid-anilide (V). A number of similar anilides show high activities, but other undesirable properties such as tissue irritation render them less useful.

    Notes: The preparation and properties of some new β-alkylamino-butyric anilides have been described and a summary report on some of their pharmacological properties is given. Two derivatives (the p-(carbo-n-butoxy)-anilides of β-diethylamino- and of β-(1-piperidino)- butyric acid = XVI and XVIII) show promise as very active local anaesthetics with low toxicities. One derivative (β-N-pyrrolidino-n-butyric acid anilide = XXVII) shows strong potentiation of the sedative properties of barbiturates.

    Notes: A further series of butyric acid amides has been synthesised in which the diethylamino, pyrrolidino and piperidino groups of previously reported syntheses have been substituted by morpholino groups. The influence of the various groups in the present and in previously reported derivatives on the pharmacology of the series is reported and summarised. The conditions necessary for maximum local anaesthesia and barbiturate potentiation are discussed.
