Reduced Renshaw Recurrent Inhibition after Neonatal Sciatic Nerve Crush in Rats

Figure 2

Recurrent inhibition in 5-day-old sciatic nerve crush rats—(1) 7 weeks recovery time. Recurrent inhibitory curves illustrate the amount (mean ± SEM) of recurrent inhibition (RI) of monosynaptic reflexes (MSR) in the 5-day-old sciatic nerve crush rats 7 weeks after nerve crush. The RI/MSR combinations tested were MG/LG-S (a, c) and LG-S/MG (b, d). (a-b) Raw traces of the recorded MSR from either LG-S (a) or MG (b) in different condition-test stimulus interval of 0, 4, and 15 ms from either sham control rat (upper traces) or sciatic nerve crush rat (lower traces). (c-d) recurrent inhibitory curves showing the time course of the RI in different condition-test stimulus interval. (**𝑃<0.01 and ***𝑃<0.001 in comparison with the sham control rats.)
