Reticulospinal inhibition of interneurones
Open accessAbstract
1. The effect of electrical stimulation of the brain stem on interneurones in the dorsal horn and intermediary region has been investigated in decerebrate cats after partial transection of the spinal cord. 2. Stimuli that effectively depress reflex transmission without giving a primary afferent depolarization inhibit the discharge evoked from the flexor reflex afferents in interneurones. 3. Brain stem stimulation did not give post‐synaptic potentials in the great majority of interneurones but effectively depressed the excitatory post‐synaptic potentials (EPSPs) and inhibitory post‐synaptic potentials (IPSPs) evoked from the flexor reflex afferents in these interneurones. 4. IPSPs were, however, evoked in five of seventy‐eight intracellularly recorded interneurones. These five interneurones were monosynaptically activated from primary afferents. 5. It is tentatively postulated that a dorsal reticulospinal system inhibits reflex transmission by giving post‐synaptic inhibition in first order interneurones. The results are also discussed in relation to effects on interneurones from other descending pathways.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
