Excitatory responses of the parietal cortex neurons to stimulation of pontine nuclei, red nucleus and sensomotor cortex were found to prevail in cats. Most of the short-latency projecting neurons were localized in the surface layers of the cortex. Convergence ability of these neurons was revealed. Functional relationship of the parietal cortex with structures involved in organization of movement, i. e. sensomotor cortex, pontine nuclei and red nucleus, was found. Functional role of the parietal cortex in motor integration was discussed.
