Synaptic Mechanisms and Circuitry Involved in Motoneuron Control During Sleep

TL;DR: It was concluded that postsynaptic inhibition of trigeminal motoneurons during active sleep acts to suppress somatic reflex activity and produce muscular atonia.

Some properties of antidromically activated units in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the action potentials of PV neurosecretory cells in the mammalian hypothalamus exhibit no properties which cannot also be seen in nonsecretory neurons elsewhere in the central nervous system.

The electrical significance of axon location diversity.

TL;DR: Evidence that the diversity of AIS and axon location has a substantial impact on the electrical properties is reviewed and it is speculated that the anatomical heterogeneity of axon locations expands synaptic integration within cell types and improves information processing in neural circuits.

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.

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.
