Involvement of Supraspinal Imidazoline Receptors and Descending Monoaminergic Pathways in Tizanidine-Induced Inhibition of Rat Spinal Reflexes
The neuronal pathways involved in the muscle relaxant effect of tizanidine were examined by measurement of spinal reflexes in rats. Tizanidine (i.v. and intra-4th ventricular injection) decreased the mono- and disynaptic (the fastest polysynaptic) reflexes (MSR and DSR, respectively) in non-spinaliz...
