Popis: | Antidromic activation of facial motoneurons in cats during stimulation of different branches of the facial nerve was studied by intracellular recording. Time and amplitude characteristics of individual components of the antidromic action potentials were analyzed and fast and slow after-potentials distinguished. Correlation was found between the duration of the descending phase of the SD spike, duration of its after-hyperpolarization, and the spike conduction time along the axon. Data were obtained to show absence of a recurrent collateral pathway in motoneurons of the facial nucleus. The functional significance of the after-potentials is discussed. |
