Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of new connexions in adult rat brains after partial deafferentation.
Patrick D. Wall,M. D. Egger +1 more
TL;DR: Mapping of the receptive fields of cells in the thalamus and cortex after section of the dorsal columns in the rat reveals evidence of functional reorganization in the central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of nine peptides in rat spinal cord with special emphasis on the substantia gelatinosa and on the area around the central canal (laminaX)
TL;DR: Nine peptides examined had its own characteristic distribution within fibers in the gray and white matter and all peptides except for thyrotropin releasing hormone were observed in fibers in laminae I and II.
Journal ArticleDOI
The presence of ineffective synapses and the circumstances which unmask them.
TL;DR: The presence of ineffective synapses in the adult offers an alternative to sprouting or the opening up of polysynaptic pathways as a possible mechanism to explain plasticity of connections in adult brains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two modes of cutaneous reinnervation following peripheral nerve injury
TL;DR: The return of sensation to the foot following sciatic nerve crush injury was analyzed behaviorally and electrophysiologically in the rat and concluded that cutaneous reinnervation begins with the collateral expansion of high threshold afferents from intact neighboring nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the relation of injury to pain the John J. Bonica Lecture
TL;DR: Pain is better classified as an awareness of a need‐state than as a sensation, and it serves more to promote healing than to avoid injury.
