Spinal interneurone depression by DS103-282.
The depressant effect of 5-chloro-4-(2-imidazolin-2-yl-amino)-2,1,3-benzothiodiazole (DS103-282) on the polysynaptic excitation of interneurones in the cat spinal cord appears to be related to a postsynaptic reduction in the effectiveness of excitatory transmitters than to interference with their presynaptic release.
متن کاملOrganisation of the sympathetic skin response in spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVES The sympathetic skin response (SSR) is a technique to assess the sympathetic cholinergic pathways, and it can be used to study the central sympathetic pathways in spinal cord injury (SCI). This study investigated the capacity of the isolated spinal cord to generate an SSR, and determined the relation between SSR, levels of spinal cord lesion, and supraspinal connections. METHODS Pa...
متن کاملSelf-Organisation of Evolving Agent Populations in Digital Ecosystems
We investigate the self-organising behaviour of Digital Ecosystems, because a primary motivation for our research is to exploit the selforganising properties of biological ecosystems. We extended a definition for the complexity, grounded in the biological sciences, providing a measure of the information in an organisms genome. Next, we extended a definition for the stability, originating from t...
متن کاملActivity-dependent plasticity of descending synaptic inputs to spinal motoneurons in an in vitro turtle brainstem-spinal cord preparation.
An in vitro brainstem-spinal cord preparation from adult turtles was used to test the hypothesis that descending synaptic inputs to multifunctional spinal motoneurons (i.e., involved in respiration and locomotion) express activity-dependent depression or potentiation. The tissue was placed in a chamber that allowed for separate superfusion of the brainstem, spinal segments C(2)-C(4), and C(5)-D...
متن کاملContribution of cutaneous inputs from the hindpaw to the control of locomotion : 2 . Spinal cats
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 nerves were cut bilaterally at ankle level before spinalisation. This denervation caused small deficits that were gradually compensated as reported in the companion paper (Bouyer and Rossignol, 2003a). After spinali...
