The overall goal of the use of cooling-induced deactivations in this study is to assess cortical contributions to obstacle memory in the walking cat. This method can help answer key questions in the field of locomotor control, such as whether the

Complex locomotion in naturalistic environments requiring careful coordination of the limbs involves regions of the parietal cortex. The following protocol describes the use of reversible cooling-induced deactivation to demonstrate the role of parietal area 5 in memory-guided obstacle avoidance in the walking cat.
