The dendrites of motoneurons are not, as once thought, passive conduits for synaptic inputs.
Instead they have voltage‐dependent channels that provide the capacity to generate a very …

The excitability of spinal motoneurons is both fundamental for motor behavior and essential
in diagnosis of neural disorders. There are two mechanisms for altering this excitability. The …

Meaningful body movements depend on the interplay between synaptic inputs to
motoneurons and their intrinsic properties. Injury and disease often alter either or both of …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a debilitating disorder, which produces profound deficits in
volitional motor control. Following medical stabilization, recovery from SCI typically involves …

Object. Function-preserving neurosurgery requires methods to identify functionally important
CNS-areas intraoperatively. We investigated whether a combination of focal cerebro-cortical …

1 In decerebrated, spinalized and paralyzed rabbits, intravenous administration of the 5‐
HT1A‐receptor agonists (±)‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐(di‐n‐propylamino) tetralin (8‐OH‐DPAT, 3–300 …

In decerebrated rabbits, the selective 5‐HT1B/1D receptor antagonist GR 127,935 had no
significant effects on reflexes evoked in medial gastrocnemius motoneurones by electrical …

Electrical stimulation of the nervous system, in conjunction with use-dependent
rehabilitation, has been employed for treatment of paralysis following spinal cord injury …

Following a spinal cord injury (SCI), people often experience exaggerated reflexes, such
that mild provocations can cause prolonged and uncontrolled muscle activity throughout the …

Spinal interneurons are essential integrators of synaptic transmission for motor control,
receiving abundant descending input from the brain and brainstem as well as afferent …
