Recent habituation literature is reviewed with emphasis on neuro-physiological studies. The
hindlimb flexion reflex of the acute spinal cat is used as a model system for analysis of the …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the convergence from different primary afferents
on interneurones in reflex pathways. It summarizes results showing that interneurones of the …

METHODS There are at least eight different methods of displaying presynaptic inhibition, but
not all are suitable for determining if any changes are produced by pharmacological agents …

Spinal motor systems receive a convergent input from descending tracts and peripheral
afferents. As a rule, there is multiform descending convergence from different supraspinal …

Synaptic inhibition is a central factor in the fine tuning of neuronal activity in the central
nervous system. Symptoms consistent with reduced inhibition such as stiffness, spasms and …

METHODS The experiments were performed on decerebrate or lightly anaesthetized
(pentobarbital sodium) cats with spinal cords severed at the second lumbar segment …

Membrane potential of lateral geniculate body relay neurons was monitored in chronic cats
during the sleep-waking cycle. Neurons were tonically depolarized throughout paradoxical …

Animals depend on sensory feedback from mechanosensory afferents for the dynamic
control of movement. This sensory feedback needs to be selectively modulated in a task-and …

1.1 Aim and Organization of the Review A dozen years ago the term" presynaptic inhibition"
meant little if anything to the maj ority of neurophysiologists. Meanwhile, intensive …

Locomotor training is a classic rehabilitation approach utilized with the aim of improving
sensorimotor function and walking ability in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Recent …
