GABAergic system for Ptychodiscus brevis toxin-induced depression of synaptic transmission elicited in isolated spinal cord from neonatal rats
The involvement of inhibitory transmitters for Ptychodiscus brevis toxin (PbTx)-induced depression of spinal synaptic transmission in neonatal rats was investigated. Stimulation of a dorsal root evoked monosynaptic reflex (MSR) and polysynaptic reflex (PSR) potentials in the segmental ventral root. The PbTx depressed the reflexes in a concentration-dependent manner and this depression was block...

متن کاملEarly Post-tetanic Potentiation and Low Frequency Depression of Some Group I Reflex Actions
Group I reflex functions, namely monosynaptic reflex transmission, facilitation of synergists, and direct and disynaptic inhibition, show early post-tetanic potentiation following conditioning with a brief, high frequency, tetanus. Of these reflex functions, monosynaptic transmission always shows low frequency depression. Direct inhibitory pathways, and therefore inhibitory junctions, are insen...
متن کاملPotential application of a passive cycling training as a tool for modulating spinal H-reflex pathways in post-acute stroke pa- tients: a feasibility study
It has been demonstrated that passive cycling training can modulate the H-reflex spinal pathways in an animal model with complete spinal cord transection and in humans with complete spinal cord injury. The aim of this study was to understand if a similar modulation can be induced in hemiparetic patients. This aspect can be crucial in stroke rehabilitation because a recalibration of activity in ...
متن کاملA clinically oriented experiment on the effect of mixed culture of neonate spinal cord transplantation on recovery of spinal cord injury
In spinal cord injuries, direct trauma by edges of sublaxated or dislocated vertebrae and indirect ischemia as a result of vascular injury necrotize the neural tissue. After spinal cord injury, tissue loss appears as micro- or macrocavitation. Accumulations of non-neuronal cells substitute spared tissue and halts axon regrowth. Lack of supporting cells (secreting trophic factors and matrix) agg...
