The flexion or flexor reflex (FR) recorded in the lower limbs in humans (LLFR) is a widely
investigated neurophysiological tool. It is a polysynaptic and multisegmental spinal …

Multireceptive neurones are found in the spinal dorsal horn and may be projection neurones
and/or interneurones for polysynaptic reflexes. The cutaneous receptive field of a …

Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated activations in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)
related to the affective component of pain, but not to stimulus intensity. However, it is …

Background Quantitative behavioral testing is necessary to establish a reproducible
measure of differential functional blockade during regional anesthesia. Methods for …

The production and control of complex motor functions are usually attributed to central brain
structures such as cortex, basal ganglia and cerebellum. In traditional schemes the spinal …

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether tactile cutaneous reflexes from
the skin of the foot contain location-specific information during human walking. Muscular …

We describe the responses evoked by microstimulation of interneuronal regions of the
spinal cord in unanesthetized rats chronically spinalized at T10–T12. One to three weeks …

The goal of these experiments was to define the contribution of hindpaw cutaneous inputs in
the expression of spinal locomotion in cats. In 3 cats, some (n= 1) or all (n= 2) cutaneous …

We review here experiments examining the hypothesis that vertebrate spinal motor systems
produce movement through the flexible combination of a small number of units of motor …

The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of hindpaw cutaneous feedback in the control
of locomotion, by cutting some (in one cat) or all (in 2 cats) cutaneous nerves bilaterally at …
