Abstract

Responses of gastrocnemius-soleus motoneurones to stretches of the homonymous muscles were recorded intracellularly in 63ISSN 0201-8489 the decerebrated cats during intramuscular injections (IMI) of bradykinin or capsaicin into the muscles. Effects of IMI on EPSPs and spikes evoked by stretches of the G-S muscles were studied in 6 motoneurones. Stretch-evoked EPSPs and firing were predominantly suppressed after IMIs, with the exception of slight increase of EPSPs up to 150 s after brady- kinin injection, followed by theirs distinct decrease. The sup- pression of spike activity was followed by restoration within 500–800 s after bradykinin injection. Stretch-evoked EPSPs and firing were depressed after capsaicin injection; control level of motoneurones activity was seemed to be unrecoverable for quite a long time. No background IPSPs were observed after algesic injections and presynaptic inhibition was considered as plausible reason for the observed suppression of motoneurones activity.
