Electrophysiological studies on gamma motoneurones.

TL;DR: It was confirmed that the gamma motoneurones differ from the alpha in receiving no monosynaptic excitatory action, but there are polysynaptic exciteatory and inhibitory actions from other afferents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of rabbit hippocampus: physiology.

TL;DR: The postnatal development of the CA1 region of rabbit hippocampus was studied using intracellular techniques in the in vitro slice preparation, and recordings from immature hippocampal neurons revealed spiking activity and functional synaptic contacts, even in the newborn animal.
Journal ArticleDOI

TTX-sensitive dendritic sodium channels underlie oscillatory discharge in a vertebrate sensory neuron.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates an immunolocalization of NaChs over somatic and dendritic membranes of a vertebrate sensory neuron that correlates with the distribution of TTX-sensitive potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antidromic and trans-synaptic activation of deiters' neurones induced from the spinal cord

TL;DR: In view of the fast time course of the action potential and of rarity of the possible recurrent inhibition, it was postulated that Deiters' neurones would be grouped with the fast type of lumbosacral motoneurones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Giant ankyrin-G: a critical innovation in vertebrate evolution of fast and integrated neuronal signaling.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that proximal axonal polarity as well as assembly of the AIS and normal morphogenesis of nodes of Ranvier all require a heretofore uncharacterized alternatively spliced giant exon of ankyrin-G (AnkG), and previously undescribed functions for giant AnkG are elucidated.

A quantitative description of membrane current and its application to conduction and excitation in nerve

TL;DR: This article concludes a series of papers concerned with the flow of electric current through the surface membrane of a giant nerve fibre by putting them into mathematical form and showing that they will account for conduction and excitation in quantitative terms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of discharge of motoneurons upon excitation of neighboring motoneurons

TL;DR: The present experiments show that the antidromic activation of certain groups of motoneurons does condition the reflex discharges of other moto-neurons, and it is not necessary to infer from the early onset of inhibition that a specific inhibitory action is produced by the arrival of impulses at the synapses made by the recurrent collaterals with other neurons.
