The discharge of cutaneous afferents innervating the tail were recorded from 145 single afferent fibers in 11 spinalized cats (conduction velocity: 32-58 m/s) during sinusoidal tail movements. Cutaneous afferent fibers were roughly classified into two groups, slowly-adapting (SA) and rapidly-adapting fibers (RA). The discharge patterns of afferent fibers during passive tail movements depended on the receptive field on tail skin. The results of the present experiments show that peripheral inputs from cutaneous afferent fibers sent various information regarding tail movement and position to central nervous systems.
在11只脊髓横断猫（传导速度：32 - 58米/秒）的正弦尾部运动期间，记录了支配尾巴的皮肤传入神经纤维的放电情况，共记录了145条单根传入纤维。皮肤传入纤维大致分为两组，即慢适应（SA）纤维和快适应（RA）纤维。被动尾部运动期间传入纤维的放电模式取决于尾巴皮肤上的感受野。本实验结果表明，来自皮肤传入纤维的外周输入向中枢神经系统发送了有关尾巴运动和位置的各种信息。
