title: [Impulse activity of interneurons of the lumbar portion of the spinal cord during the late long discharges in the motor nerves of immobilized thalamic cats].
abstract: Impulse activity of lumbar interneurons was recorded extracellularly during the late long-lasting discharges in efferent nerves of immobilized thalamic animals. 70% of investigated neurons changed their activity during the late discharges. The activity of 35% of neurons increased, during late discharges in flexor nerves, while during activity in extensor nerves it was inhibited. 27% of neurons had the opposite reaction. Neurons, whose activity correspondingly increased (5%) or decreased (3%) during the late discharges both in flexor and extensor nerves were also observed. Most interneurons, changing their activity during late discharges, were located in the lateral parts of intermediate zone and in the lateral ventral horn at the depth of 2.8 mm. Certain dependence between the character of afferent inputs to the neuron and correlation of its activity with late efferent discharges was revealed. Neurons whose activity did not change during late discharges (40%) were mainly located somewhat dorsally, at the depth of about 2.0 mm. Possible role of described interneurons in generation of late discharges is discussed.
