Journal ArticleDOI
The generation of impulses in motoneurones
TL;DR: An attempt to determine the factors governing the generation of spike potentials in these three components, and the way in which they are related to the discharge of an impulse down the axon of the motoneurone.

Developmental changes in Na+ conductances in rat neocortical neurons: appearance of a slowly inactivating component.
TL;DR: There are no kinetic differences in the Na+ channels between cell types in rat neocortical neurons and the observation that Na+ current inactivation occurs with two exponentials is verified.
Book ChapterDOI
The Motor Pools of the Spinal Cord
TL;DR: This chapter discusses some of the information available on the motor cells and their immediate neighbors with special reference to the regions of the spinal cord innervating the limbs with special consideration to the motor cell columns in the enlargements of the mammalian spinal cord.

Input-output functions of mammalian motoneurons.

TL;DR: There is at present no general quantitative expression for motoneuron input-output properties under dynamic conditions and the biophysical mechanisms underlying the transfer of synaptic current from the dendrites to the soma are not well understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Axotomy-induced alterations in the electrophysiological characteristics of neurons
TL;DR: The electrophysiological alterations provoked by axotomy have now been studied for almost half a century, in a number of different cell types, and it is now possible to detail some common mechanisms underlying these changes and to sort out certain trends in the data.

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.
