Abstract:Vibrational stimulation of the tendon of the mm.gastrocnemius+soleus (100 sec -1 ) in rats anesthetized with chloral hydrate (400 mg/kg) resulted in the appearance of considerable Fos immunoreactivity in the lumbar spinal cord (L1-L6), as compared with that in intact animals. Total densities of Fos-immunopositive (Fos-ip) neurons in each of the examined segments were higher than 40 units per 40-µm-thick slice; the respective index reached the maximum at the L4 level (78.9 ± 2.3 cells). Most Fos-ip neurons were… Show more
