[Synaptic responses of spinal cord neurons to rhythmic microstimulation of a stepping strip].

Synaptic responses of neurons at the low thoracic level to microstimulation of a stepping strip in the dorsolateral funiculus with frequency of 20 and 40 pps were recorded in mesencephalic cats. Histograms of latencies of single neurons were usually monomodal, whereas two modes at 2-3 ms and 5-7 ms occurred in composed histograms. The data obtained show that decremental reverberation exists under these experimental conditions.
