A friend who works in a research lab is conducting an experiment to study motor movement. First the animal undergoes spinal transection at T5. Then, the animal is trained to walk on a treadmill while supported. Finally, GABA antagonists are injected into the lumbar enlargement of the spinal cord. After treatment of the drug, what motor response would you expect?   Question 5 options:   A)  The animal no longer has proper functioning of back or front legs while on the treadmill   B)  The animal no longer has coordinated movement of the front legs while on the treadmill   C)  The animal no longer has coordinated movement of the back legs while on the treadmill   D)  The animal can walk normally on the treadmill (with support)
