Electrical stimulation reveals relatively ineffective sural nerve projections to dorsal horn neurons in the cat.

Abstract:

:Electrical stimulation of the sural nerve (SN) revealed input from sural nerve afferents to L6 and L7 dorsal horn neurons that were not apparent using natural mechanical stimuli, especially in cells with variable latency responses to SN stimulation. Nearly all (31/32) cells that had reliable, fixed latency responses to SN stimulation also had an excitatory receptive field (RF) in the region of skin innervated by the sural nerve (SN region). About one-third (20/57) of the cells with variable latency responses to SN stimulation, however, had an RF outside the SN region. Most (130/146) cells with no response to SN stimulation had RFs outside the SN region. There were no obvious differences between variable latency cells with RFs in the SN region vs those with RFs outside it in latency of response to SN stimulation, recording depth, RF sizes or modality properties. In a subsample of 31 postsynaptic dorsal column neurons all cells responding to SN stimulation also had an RF in the SN region. Strengthening of relatively ineffective projections from the sural nerve by lesions might be expected to lead to an increase in the proportion of cells responding with impulses to natural stimulation of the skin innervated by the sural nerve, and, hence, to an increase in average RF size.
