In order to establish the specificity of growth and termination of dorsal root afferents within the developing spinal cord, the central dorsal horn terminals of myelinated sensory afferents were labelled at various stages in the rat from embryonic day (E)18 through to postnatal day (P) 35 using hors

The organization of neurons in the lumbar enlargement of the rat spinal cord processing information conveyed by group II afferents of hind-limb muscle nerves has been investigated by using cord dorsum and intraspinal field potential recording. Group II afferents of different muscle nerves were found
There is strong evidence that neural circuits underlying certain rhythmic motor behaviors are located in the spinal cord. Such local central pattern generators are thought to coordinate the activity of motoneurons through specific sets of last-order premotor interneurons that establish monosynaptic
Neurons with axons that extend to the contralateral side of the spinal cord-commissural interneurons (CINs)-coordinate left/right alternation during locomotion. Little is known about the organization of CINs in the mammalian spinal cord. To determine the numbers, distribution, dendritic morphologies
The different subdivisions along the mediolateral extent of the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord are generally regarded as identical structures that execute the function of sensory information processing without any significant communication with other regions of the spinal gray matter. In
