[Proportion of short propriospinal fibers in the lumbar division of the spinal cord of the cat].
Stimulating and recording electrodes were located at various distances from each other either in the lateral or in the ventral funiculus of the lumbar spinal cord of decerebrated curarized cats. The recorded response considerably decreased at the distance of 10-15 mm, suggesting that most propriospinal fibres have a length not exceeding the length of one or two spinal segments.
