The Reactions to Tetanic Stimulation of the Two‐Neuron Arc in the Kitten

Abstract: The postnatal development of the post‐tetanic potentiation of the two‐neuron arc is studied in kittens ranging in age from 1 to 45 days. It is shown that post‐tetanic potentiation is lacking in the newborn animal and develops with increasing age of the kittens. Evidence is presented that the postnatal development of this mechanism is running a parallel course with the maturation of the afferents and the formation of new functional connections to the motoneurones. It is concluded that post‐tetanic potentiation … Show more

“…In the spinal cord, the synaptic depression elicited at sensorimotor connections in new-born cat is converted to a post-tetanic potentiation in response to the same conditioning stimulation in adults36. Such ADSP conversions have been shown to arise, at least partly, from developmentally regulated changes in NMDAR subunit composition.…”

“…A delayed development of the discharge from the muscle spindles has actually been found (SKOGLUND 1960 a). In addition there might be a delayed development of the afferent terminals in the spinal cord, for which the results to be described below offer some evidence.…”
