Recurrent Facilitation of Spinal Reflexes
Antidromic volleys in muscle nerves may facilitate monosynaptic reflexes originating from neighboring motoneurons. This facilitation has been studied in spinal cats. It is at its peak with a conditioning-test interval of 20 to 30 msec., and can last 50 to 100 msec. The threshold of facilitation is about the same as that of recurrent inhibition. Both phenomena appear to be activated by stimulati...
متن کاملFacilitation of postural limb reflexes with epidural stimulation in spinal rabbits.
It is known that after spinalization animals lose their ability to maintain lateral stability when standing or walking. A likely reason for this is a reduction of the postural limb reflexes (PLRs) driven by stretch and load receptors of the limbs. The aim of this study was to clarify whether spinal networks contribute to the generation of PLRs. For this purpose, first, PLRs were recorded in dec...
متن کاملNeuropeptide-mediated facilitation and inhibition of sensory inputs and spinal cord reflexes in the lamprey.
The effects of neuromodulators present in the dorsal horn [tachykinins, neuropeptide Y (NPY), bombesin, and GABAB agonists] were studied on reflex responses evoked by cutaneous stimulation in the lamprey. Reflex responses were elicited in an isolated spinal cord preparation by electrical stimulation of the attached tail fin. To be able to separate modulator-induced effects at the sensory level ...
متن کاملDepression and facilitation of spinal reflexes by systemic omega-amino acids.
A considerable amount of study has been made in an attempt to discuss the physiological significance of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the nervous system6). GABA topically applied to the cerebral cortex blocked selectively the surface-negative response12,16). In stretch receptor cells of the crayfish, the action of GABA was found to be similar to the effects produced by stimulation of the in...
متن کاملSpinal sympathetic cardiocardiac reflexes.
We studied the reflex changes in myocardial contractility elicited by electrical stimulation of afferent cardiac sympathetic nerve fibers or chemical stimulation of their cardiac endings. Veratridine injected directly into the left coronary artery was the chemical stimulus. The maximum rate of rise of left ventricular pressure, dP/dt max, was used as an index of myocardial contractility. The st...
