Effects of unilateral damage of the rat sciatic nerve on the spinal motor centre of contralateral gastrocnemius muscle were investigated. The state of contralateral gastrocnemius muscle centre was assessed using the method of paired monosynaptic testings and posttetanic potentiation of reflex response on days 1, 5 and 10 after nerve damage. The obtained data indicate changes in reflex activity of contralateral motor centre in these conditions. The activation of contralateral reflex systems after nerve damage seems to provide regenerative reorganisation of the motor control in the conditions of traumatic influence.
