Gain control mechanisms in spinal motoneurons
Motoneurons provide the only conduit for motor commands to reach muscles. For many years, motoneurons were in fact considered to be little more than passive "wires". Systematic studies in the past 25 years however have clearly demonstrated that the intrinsic electrical properties of motoneurons are under strong neuromodulatory control via multiple sources. The discovery of potent neuromodulatio...
متن کاملHypocretinergic control of spinal cord motoneurons.
Hypocretinergic (orexinergic) neurons in the lateral hypothalamus project to motor columns in the lumbar spinal cord. Consequently, we sought to determine whether the hypocretinergic system modulates the electrical activity of motoneurons. Using in vivo intracellular recording techniques, we examined the response of spinal motoneurons in the cat to electrical stimulation of the lateral hypothal...

متن کاملSpinal mechanisms of pain control.
OBJECTIVES To demonstrate initial results using Khan Kinetic Treatment (KKT) as a chronic neck pain treatment and to present pain control mechanistic theory on which the treatment is based. METHODS A self-reported functional assessment, neck pain questionnaire, and pain medication dose were used as outcome measures for 44 matched patients randomly split into 2 groups ("treatment" and "control...
متن کاملSimulation of Retinal Contrast Gain Control Mechanisms
I present a simulation of contrast gain control mechanisms operating among transient M cells in the monkey s retina in order to investigate the spatial consequences of this interaction The simulation stages include a realistic viewing model non linear receptor model linear spatial ltering and a saturating output function Contrast gain control is introduced by pooling recti ed signals from on an...
