TI  - Operant control of precentral neurons: control of modal interspike intervals.
PG  - 29-38
AB  - The objects of these experiments were: (a) to determine modal interspike 
      intervals (ISIs) of precentral cells involved in repetitious, gross motor 
      movements; (b) to compare those modal ISIs to the modal ISIs of similar neurons 
      under operant control; and (c) to determine if monkeys could change the modal 
      ISIs of operantly controlled precentral neurons. Data were obtained from 4 
      monkeys conditioned to produce tonic firing of precentral neurons and one monkey 
      trained to produce repetitious movements of the neck and contralateral limbs. 
      Results are: (a) the modal ISIs from operantly controlled precentral units do not 
      differ significantly from precentral neurons involved in repetitive gross motor 
      movements; and (b) while under operant control, the monkeys cannot modify 
      significantly the modal ISI of the majority of precentral neurons.
