Journal ArticleDOI
Presynaptic inhibition in the vertebrate spinal cord revisited.
Pablo Rudomín,Robert F. Schmidt +1 more
TL;DR: Intaspinal terminals of sensory fibers are not hard-wired conductors of the information generated in their peripheral sensory receptors, but dynamic systems that convey information that can be selectively addressed by central mechanisms to specific neuronal targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of an experimental arthritis on the sensory properties of fine articular afferent units.
TL;DR: It is concluded that an acute inflammation sensitizes many fine articular units, making them active at rest and increasing the responsiveness more readily to normally innocuous joint movements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time course of mechanosensitivity changes in articular afferents during a developing experimental arthritis.
TL;DR: In 37 cats anesthetized with alpha-chloralose recordings were made from single-afferent units of the medial articular nerve of the right knee joint, the mechanosensitivity of such units was characterized and an experimental arthritis was induced by injecting kaolin and carrageenan into the joint cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excitation and sensitization of fine articular afferents from cat's knee joint by prostaglandin E2.
H G Schaible,Robert F. Schmidt +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that PGE2 induces in a large proportion of fine articular afferents of normal joints discharges which are similar to those induced by an experimental inflammation and may be an inflammatory mediator which has a major role in the generation of the afferent activity developing in the course of an arthritis.
OtherDOI
Cardiovascular Reflex Control by Afferent Fibers from Skeletal Muscle Receptors
TL;DR: The sections in this article are: Afferent Fibers from Skeletal Muscle and Their Receptors, Organization of Efferent Outflow in Pre- and Postganglionic Neurons, and Role of Skeletal muscle Afferents in Cardiovascular Response to Exercise in Humans.
