Intraspinal microstimulation excites multisegmental sensory afferents at lower stimulus levels than local alpha-motoneuron responses.
Microstimulation within the motor regions of the spinal cord is often assumed to activate motoneurons and propriospinal neurons close to the electrode tip. However, previous work has shown that intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) in the gray matter activates sensory afferent axons as well as alpha-motoneurons (MNs). Here we report on the recruitment of sensory afferent axons and MNs as ISMS amp...
متن کاملCharacteristics and mechanisms of locomotion induced by intraspinal microstimulation and dorsal root stimulation in spinal cats.
Intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) through a single microelectrode can induce locomotion in cats spinalized at T(13) 1 wk before (untrained) or after 3-5 wk of treadmill training. Here we study the optimal parameters of ISMS and the characteristics of locomotion evoked. ISMS was applied in the dorsal region of segments L(3)-S(1) at different lateralities (midline to 2.5 mm) and after an intrav...
متن کاملThe Fused Thoracic-abdominal Ganglion of the Hermit Crab (pagurus Pollicaris): Neuromuscular Relationships in the Thoracic and Abdominal Flexor Muscles
1. The physiological and morphological properties of the thoracic flexor neuromuscular systems are described for the hermit crab Pagurus pollicaris. There are two pairs of flexor muscles in thoracic segments 3 to 5: the dorsal flexors and the ventral flexors. 2. The dorsal flexors are composed of fast fibres and are asymmetrical. On the left side the muscle branches laterally so that it has two...

متن کاملVentral root projections of myelinated dorsal root ganglion cells in the cat.
Since the original formulations by Bell2 and Magendiezl, there have been successive attempts to demonstrate exceptions to division of spinal roots into ventral, outgoing motor and dorsal, incoming sensory pathways30. Data suggesting the presence of primary afferent fibers in mammalian ventral roots have been persistent in the I anatomic7~8~33~35, electrophysiologic~~9~15~1~~26.27, and clinicall...
