An investigation of the role of the intraspinal cholinergic system in the modulation of motoneuron voltage threshold

Previous work has demonstrated that rhythmic motor outputs, such as locomotion and scratch induce a hyperpolarization of the voltage threshold (Vth) for action potential initiation in spinal motoneurons, enhancing their excitability. Descending monoamines were implicated in mediating this effect; ho...
