Unresponsive afferent nerve fibres in the sural nerve of the rat.

The Divisional Organization of Afferent Fibres of the Trigeminal Nerve.

DURING evoked-potential studies of the projection of the three divisions. of the trigeminal nerve on the corresponding spinal tract and nucleus (to be reported elsewhere), the writer was disconcerted by certain observations, which appeared to be at variance with the classical conception of the organization of the trigeminal system. The early observation of Harrison and Corbin (1942) and of McKi...

P49: The Evaluation of Aqueous Extract of Glycyrrhiza Glabra on Nerve Recovery in the Rat after Sciatic Nerve Injury

Peripheral nerve injury requires a long recovery period, and recovery, once attained, usually is incomplete. Inflammatory procedures may inhibit functional recovery after nerve injury and produce cell death in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Since the glycyrrhiza glabra extract has anti-inflammatory effects, it could reduce the severity of injury. The aim of t...

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...

Entrapment neuropathy of the sural nerve.

Entrapment neuropathies have been known for many years. The larger peripheral nerve entrapment lesions such as that of the ulnar nerve at the elbow (Paget 1864), carpal tunnel syndrome (Learmonth 1933) and more recently tarsal tunnel syndrome (Keck 1962, Lam 1962) and the entrapment of the radial nerve in the persistent “tennis elbow” (Roles and Maudsley 1972) have all been described. Neuropath...
