Conduction velocity along human nociceptive reflex afferent nerve fibres.
The conduction velocity along the nociceptive flexor reflex afferent nerve fibres was investigated in human subjects. The posterior tibal nerve was stimulated at two sites by single painful electrical shocks of 1.0 ms duration and with adequate intensity and the reflex EMG discharges were recorded from the short head of the biceps femoris muscle. The fastest reflex conduction velocity along the...
متن کاملConduction in Nerve Fibres
Data by E. A. Blair and Erlanger on the voltage-capacity curves and the nerve impulse velocities of each of several fibres in the same nerve trunk are related to Rashevsky's equation for the velocity of transmission in nerve. The results lend support to Rashevsky's analysis. Other empirical relations between the velocity and the parameters of the excitation equations indicate the correctness of...
متن کاملConduction Velocity Changes along Lumbar
Though peripheral conduction velocity is widely used to characterize afferent fibers according to somatosensory modality, disagreement exists as to whether or not conduction velocity varies along such an axon's length. Therefore, in this experiment, conduction velocities were measured over very short axonal segments (7.5 to 15 mm) within the posterior tibia1 nerve, sciatic nerve, and L7 dorsal ...
متن کاملSomatic modulation of spinal reflex bladder activity mediated by nociceptive bladder afferent nerve fibers in cats.
The goal of the present study was to determine if supraspinal pathways are necessary for inhibition of bladder reflex activity induced by activation of somatic afferents in the pudendal or tibial nerve. Cats anesthetized with α-chloralose were studied after acute spinal cord transection at the thoracic T9/T10 level. Dilute (0.25%) acetic acid was used to irritate the bladder, activate nocicepti...
متن کاملConduction velocity and refractory period of single motor nerve fibres in motor neuron disease.
Electromyographic single motor unit recordings were used to study the axonal conduction velocity and the axonal refractory period of 60 motor units in patients with severe motor neuron disease. Eighteen per cent of the motor units had abnormally low axonal conduction velocity probably due to secondary degenerative changes. Thirty-two per cent of the motor units had abnormally long axonal refrac...
