Despite numerous studies on spinal neuronal systems, several issues regarding their role in motor behavior remain unresolved. One of these issues is how electric fields associated with the activity of spinal neurons influence the operation of spinal neuronal networks and how effects of these field potentials are combined with other means of modulating neuronal activity. Another closely related issue is how external electric field potentials affect spinal neurons and how they can be used for therapeutic purposes such as pain relief or recovery of motor functions by transspinal direct current stimulation. Nevertheless, progress in our understanding of the spinal effects of electric fields and their mechanisms has been made over the last years, and the aim of the present review is to summarize the recent findings in this field.
尽管对脊髓神经元系统进行了大量研究，但关于它们在运动行为中的作用仍有几个问题尚未解决。其中一个问题是，与脊髓神经元活动相关的电场如何影响脊髓神经网络的运作，以及这些场电位的效应如何与调节神经元活动的其他方式相结合。另一个密切相关的问题是，外部电场电位如何影响脊髓神经元，以及它们如何通过经脊髓直流电刺激用于治疗目的，如缓解疼痛或恢复运动功能。然而，在过去几年里，我们对电场的脊髓效应及其机制的理解取得了进展，本综述的目的是总结该领域的最新发现。
