On the cutaneous receptors contributing to withdrawal reflex pathways in the decerebrate spinal rat
HR Weng, J Schouenborg - Experimental brain research, 1998 - Springer
Previous studies indicate that the withdrawal reflex system in the rat has a “modular”
organization, each reflex pathway performing a specific sensorimotor transformation. Here …
