  • Title: [Change in the background afferent influx to the spinal cord after transsecting the sciatic nerve and early enhancement of monosynaptic reflexes].
    Author: Makiĭ EA, Serdiuchenko IIa.
    Journal: Neirofiziologiia; 1992; 24(1):103-5. PubMed ID: 1584300.
    Abstract:
    Background impulse activity (BIA) of separate fibres of dorsal roots of 5 lumbar segment of rats after one-sided cutting of the sciatic nerve which caused early enhancement of monosynaptic segmental reflexes (5 days after operation) has been recorded. It is revealed that afferent fibres with BIA are found more rarely on side of cutting than on the opposite side and frequency of background activity is lower than in the opposite root. It is concluded that development of spontaneous activity of the spinal ganglion neurons after cutting nerves does not ensure a higher BIA level in afferent fibres. The given phenomenon cannot be a reason of early enhancement of monosynaptic reflexes after the nerve cutting.
