Intraspinally mediated state‐dependent enhancement of motoneurone excitability during fictive scratch in the adult decerebrate cat

open access: greenThe Journal of Physiology, 2010
This is the first study to report on the increase in motoneurone excitability during fictive scratch in adult decerebrate cats. Intracellular recordings from antidromically identified motoneurones revealed a decrease in the voltage threshold for spike initiation (Vth), a suppression of motoneurone afterhyperpolarization and activation of voltage ...

What Is It Like to Be a Bass? Red Herrings, Fish Pain and the Study of Animal Sentience

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Debates around fishes' ability to feel pain concern sentience: do reactions to tissue damage indicate evaluative consciousness (conscious affect), or mere nociception? Thanks to Braithwaite's research leadership, and concerns that current practices could

Cholinergic Mechanisms in Spinal Locomotion - Potential Target for Rehabilitation Approaches

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
Previous experiments implicate cholinergic brainstem and spinal systems in the control of locomotion. Our results demonstrate that the endogenous cholinergic propriospinal system, acting via M2 and M3 muscarinic receptors, is capable of consistently ...

Confined spaces in space: Cerebral implications of chronic elevations of inspired carbon dioxide and implications for long‐duration space travel

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cerebrovascular regulation is critically dependent upon the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2${P_{{\mathrm{aC}}{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$), owing to its effect on cerebral blood flow, tissue PCO2${P_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$, tissue proton concentration, cerebral metabolism and cognitive and neuronal ...

The evolution of muscle spindles

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.
