June 2015
Department of Neurodegeneration, Plasticity and Repair, Institute of Neurobiology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Šoltésovej 4, Košice 040 01, Slovakia. Electronic address:
Background Context: The loss of descending control after spinal cord injury (SCI) and incessant stimulation of Ia monosynaptic pathway, carrying proprioceptive impulses from the muscles and tendons into the spinal cord, evoke exaggerated α-motoneuron activity leading to increased reflex response. Previous results from our laboratory have shown that Ia monosynaptic pathway is nitrergic.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to find out whether nitric oxide produced by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) plays a role in setting the excitability of α-motoneurons after thoracic spinal cord transection.
