Bévengut, Michelle, François Clarac, and Daniel Cattaert. Antithe periphery in the sensory axons (El Manira et al 1991b). dromic modulation of a proprioceptor sensory discharge in crayfish. These spikes have no postsynaptic effect centrally (Cattaert J. Neurophysiol. 78: 1180–1183, 1997. In the proprioceptive neuet al. 1994; El Manira et al 1991b) but their peripheral rons of the coxo-basal cho...

Effects of mesenteric nerve (MN) stimulation on the electrophysiological behavior of myenteric neurons in the guinea pig ileum were investigated with intracellular recording techniques in the myenteric flaps innervated with mesenteric nerves. MN stimulation at 0.11-6 Hz evoked fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in 6 myenteric neurons (2 Type 2/AH, 3 NS and 1 Type 1/S cells) and rar...

The action of cumulative doses of meprobamate on antidromic conditioning has been studied in spinal cats. Recurrent facilitation is greatly reduced or completely abolished by total doses ranging from 210 to 400 mg./kg. The depth of recurrent inhibition is not affected in a consistent manner by meprobamate, but the duration of inhibition is markedly increased in all experiments. This differentia...

With experimental animals, the electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) can be recorded from multiple sites (e.g., round window, intracranial and intracochlear sites). However, human ECAPs are typically recorded from intracochlear electrodes of the implanted array. To bridge this difference, we obtained ECAPs from cats using both intracochlear and nerve-trunk recording sites. We als...
