Input Resistance, Electrical Excitability, and Size of Ventral Horn Cells in Cat Spinal Cord
Abstract
Experiments on cat lumbosacral alpha motoneurones showed that, in comparison with cells possessing rapidly conducting axons, the cells with slowly conducting axons have the higher input resistance, that they need weaker stimulating currents to reach the threshold for repetitive firing, and that they need a relatively larger increment in current strength for a given increase in firing rate. Measurements of the number and diameters of dendritic trunks gave larger values for the larger cell bodies. The discussion deals with the interrelation between cell geometry, electrical properties, and the reflex action of alpha motoneurones.

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.
