Carrier, Lynda, Edna Brustein, and Serge Rossignol. Locomotion of the hindlimbs after
neurectomy of ankle flexors in intact and spinal cats: a model for the study of locomotor …

Locomotion involves dynamic interactions between the spinal cord, supraspinal signals, and
peripheral sensory inputs. After incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), interactions are …

Till the present, an enormous number of facts concerning brain have been collected, while
advancement of our understanding of the mechanisms of its activity remains insignificant …

The learning and memory literature is so extensive that many authors of learning texts have
made the decision to limit their coverage to a single area (eg, classical conditioning, animal …

It is becoming clear that the plasticity of the sensory-motor networks of the adult mammalian
lumbosacral spinal cord is much greater than and is more dependent on the specific …

Conditioned antinociception can be established in spinal rats by pairing stimulation to one
hind leg (the conditioned stimulus [CS]) with an intense tailshock (the unconditioned …

Rats with complete spinal transections are capable of acquiring a simple instrumentally
trained response. If rats receive shock to one hind limb when the limb is extended …

Spinally transected rats given leg shock whenever one hindlimb is extended learn to
maintain the leg in a flexed position, which minimizes net shock exposure. Yoked rats, that …

Prior research suggests that associative and memorial processes can modulate the
activation of the endogenous antinociceptive systems. It has been generally assumed that …

We have shown that spinal cord neurons can support a simple form of instrumental learning.
In a typical experiment, rats are spinalized at the second thoracic vertebra (T2) and given …
