Monosynaptic reflex responses elicited by repetitive stimulation in the frequency range between 60 and 100 per second yield evidence of temporal summation. The relation between stimulus interval and mean monosynaptic reflex response in the steady state at the frequencies studied is described adequately by an exponential decaying to 1/e in 4 msec. Since the temporal course of spatial summation is described adequately by the same exponential it is concluded that the two phenomena, temporal and spatial, are expressions of the same fundamental process intrinsic to the workings of the monosynaptic reflex pathway, to wit the synaptic potential-residual facilitation mechanism of prior descriptions. Some discussion of implications is appended.
每秒60至100次频率范围内的重复刺激所引发的单突触反射反应,显示出时间总和的证据。在所研究的频率下,稳态时刺激间隔与平均单突触反射反应之间的关系可以用一个在4毫秒内衰减至1/e的指数函数来充分描述。由于空间总和的时间进程也可以用相同的指数函数来充分描述,因此可以得出结论,时间总和与空间总和这两种现象,是单突触反射通路运作中内在的同一基本过程的表现,即先前描述中的突触电位-残余易化机制。文末附加了一些关于其意义的讨论。
