  • Title: Neurochemical changes in the cat's spinal cord due to orthodromic tetanic stimuli. I: phospholipids.
    Author: Althaus HH, Neuhoff V, Haase J, Ross HG.
    Journal: J Neurosci Res; 1975; 1(3-4):243-51. PubMed ID: 178883.
    Abstract:
    Posttetanic potentiation of monosynaptic reflexes has been used as a paradigm for neuronal plasticity. The explanation for this phenomenon is an increased responsiveness of the synaptic junctions. This would basically require chemical changes of the nervous structures involved. The ventral horn area of the spinal cord was therefore analyzed neurochemically. The determination of the phospholipids revealed an alteration of their composition. Sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositide/serine behaved differently, whereas phosphatidylethanolamine and the total phospholipid content remained unchanged.
