- 1. Intra‐ and extracellular recordings were made from cells of the spinocervical tract in the lumbosacral spinal cord. A convergence of monosynaptic excitatory post‐synaptic potentials (EPSPs) and disynaptic inhibitory post‐synaptic potentials (IPSPs) was a general pattern of effects from the low threshold cutaneous fibres. Unitary IPSPs, probably mediated via the same disynaptic path, were evoked by light touch of hairs, which was also the adequate stimulus for exciting the cells. The receptive field for unitary IPSPs was closely related to the excitatory receptive field but was eccentric, not of a surround type. 2. EPSPs, IPSPs, or both, were evoked from the flexor reflex afferents in the great majority of neurones. Disynaptic IPSPs may be evoked from the interosseous nerve. No effects were produced by volleys in group I muscle afferents. 3. It is suggested, on the basis of the spatial organization of the excitatory and inhibitory receptive skin fields, that the spinocervical tract may give information regarding the direction of tactile stimuli. © 1968 The Physiological Society
