M2 muscarinic receptors modulate active CPG networks and motoneuron firing during drug-induced locomotion. (a) Schematics of ventral root and individual motoneuron recordings from intact spinal cords and (b) single cell recordings from isolated spinal cord slices. (c) Raw (top) and integrated/rectified (bottom) ventral root recordings with (d) averaged time course plots and (e) box-plots of pooled data illustrating the effects of methoctramine on the frequency, duration and amplitude of drug-induced locomotor output (n = 14). (f) Motoneuron firing (top) and simultaneous raw (middle) and integrated/rectified (bottom) ventral root recordings during drug-induced locomotor output. (g) Motoneuron firing frequencies plotted for all motoneurons tested showing the effects of methoctramine during drug induced locomotor activity (n = 17). *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
