Functional recovery of aimed scratching movements after a graded proprioceptive manipulation.
To demonstrate the role of proprioceptive feedback in aimed limb movements, we induced graded changes in the signals provided by the principal receptor in a leg of a locust. The femoro-tibial chordotonal organ (FCO) of the hindleg monitors extension and flexion movements of the tibia and provides the main source of proprioceptive feedback about tibial kinematics. The FCO apodeme (tendon) was su...
متن کاملWing hair sensilla underlying aimed hindleg scratching of the locust.
The anatomy and physiology of exteroceptors on the surfaces of the wings have been described in many insects, but their roles in behaviour have been less well studied. They have often been assumed to have a role primarily in flight. We show that the wings of the locust Schistocerca gregaria possess at least three different hair types with characteristic patterns of distribution that determine t...
متن کاملFactors affecting proprioceptive recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
BACKGROUND Proprioception plays an important role in knee movements. Since there are controversies surrounding the overall recovery time of proprioception following surgery, it is necessary to define the factors affecting proprioceptive recovery after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to investigate the relationship between proprioception and muscle strength. METHODS A total...
متن کاملRemodelling of spared proprioceptive circuit involving a small number of neurons supports functional recovery.
Studies show that limited functional recovery can be achieved by plasticity and adaptation of the remaining circuitry in partial injuries in the central nervous system, although the new circuits that arise in these contexts have not been clearly identified or characterized. We show here that synaptic contacts from dorsal root ganglions to a small number of dorsal column neurons, a caudal extens...
متن کاملEnhanced regeneration and functional recovery after spinal root avulsion by manipulation of the proteoglycan receptor PTPσ
Following root avulsion, spinal nerves are physically disconnected from the spinal cord. Severe motoneuron death and inefficient axon regeneration often result in devastating motor dysfunction. Newly formed axons need to extend through inhibitory scar tissue at the CNS-PNS transitional zone before entering into a pro-regenerative peripheral nerve trajectory. CSPGs are dominant suppressors in sc...
