MATTHEWS From the Physiological Laboratory, Cambridge (Received 20 January 1938) THE first records of electrical in the cord made Got activity spinal clh by & showed Horsley [1891] that did potential changes reflex accompany activity, but have these been only examined in detail recently and correlated with reflex In the last five phenomena. much work years has been published on the action of the cord potentials e r spinal ss [Ga & Graham, 1933; Umrath Hughes& & Gasser, 1934a, b; Umrath, 1934; Barron & Matthews, Eccles & 1936a, b; Pritchard, Hughes 1937; et al. 1937; Several of these Matthews, 1937]. authors have shown that spike potentials recorded from the cord be spinal may attributed in part at least to the conduction of impulses axones of the along and as cord, might be anticipated from the complex nature of the pathways which these traverse, are not they as as simple the action potentials of peri- but pheral nerve, there is nothing to that suggest these action potentials arise from processes different in nature from the transient depolarization TI - The interpretation of potential changes in the spinal cord JO - The Journal of Physiology DO - 10.1113/jphysiol.1938.sp003603 DA - 1939-02-14 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/the-interpretation-of-potential-changes-in-the-spinal-cord-Z2Vn0Laid0 SP - 276 EP - 321 VL - 92 IS - 3 DP - DeepDyve ER -
