Electrophysiology of adult rat facial motoneurones: the effects of serotonin (5-HT) in a novel in vitro brainstem slice.
TL;DR: A novel brainstem slice of the adult rat containing the facial motor nucleus (FMN) is described, indicating that they display several passive and active properties seen in other rat cranial and spinal motoneurones.

Non-homogeneous conduction in giant axons of the nerve cord of Periplaneta americana.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the abdominal giant axons of the cockroach extend continuously from A 6 to suboesophageal ganglion and the possibility of bi-directional conduction under physiological conditions is discussed.

Accommodation in spinal motoneurons of the cat.
Kazuo Sasaki,Takuzo Otani +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis admitting a transition zone between the initial segment and the soma seems to be preferable, being consistent with an assumption of constant threshold depolarization at fixed areas of the motoneuron.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct identification of the cell bodies of Y-, X- and W-cells in the cats retina
Yutaka Fukuda,Jonathan Stone +1 more
TL;DR: The results confirm previous evidence that the largest ganglion cell somas in the cat retina are the somas of Y-cells, the smallest are the Somas of W- cells, while the soma of X-cells are intermediate in size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensory neurons and motoneurons of the jaw-closing reflex pathway in rats: a combined morphological and physiological study using the intracellular horseradish peroxidase technique.
Kurt Lingenhöhl,Eckhard Friauf +1 more
TL;DR: The muscle spindle afferents of the rat masseter muscle are likely to participate not only in a monosynaptic motor reflex, but also in more complex neuronal circuits involved in jaw-movements.

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.
