Intense peripheral electrical stimulation differentially inhibits tail vs. limb withdrawal reflexes in the rat
Abstract
In an on-going study on mechanisms by which activation of sensory afferents regulates nociception, high-intensity, low-frequency electrical stimulation was applied to previously defined meridian and non-meridian points of the hindlimb or forelimb, and the effects measured on the withdrawal reflex of the tail or limb in the lightly anesthetized rat. Withdrawal was evoked by application of noxious radiant heat to the tip of the tail or to the …
