The effects of repetitive electrical stimulation of nodes in Auerbach's plexus on the longitudinal muscle of rabbit intestine were investigated. Peeled longitudinal muscle strips, with adherent Auerbach's plexus, were obtained and placed under a stereodissecting microscope. Neural elements within nodes of Auerbach's plexus were stimulated repetitively using a metal microelectrode with tip diameter of 5 micrometer. Stimuli applied to a node generally caused excitation of the longitudinal muscle on the oral side and inhibition on the anal side of the point of stimulation. Excitation of the muscle was mainly cholinergic, and inhibition of the muscle was nonadrenergic. From the results of the present study the concept of the law of the intestine, excitation above and inhibition below the stimulated spot, was supported.

The mechanism of action of somatostatin on the motility of intestine was examined in the entire preparation and the longitudinal muscle attached with Auerbach's plexus (LA) preparation of guinea pig ileum, in relation to the cholinergic neuron and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neuron. Somatostatin produced a transient potentiation of electrical stimulation-induced twitch contractions followed by an inhibition. The excitatory effect of somatostatin was associated with an increase in the release of [3H]acetylcholine (ACh) from the preparations preloaded with [3H]choline. Bicuculline, a GABAA antagonist, inhibited the somatostatin-induced excitatory effect. Somatostatin inhibited the electrical stimulation-induced twitch contraction and release of [3H]ACh, and the inhibition was greater in the entire preparation than in the LA. Phaclofen, a GABAB antagonist, prevented the inhibitory effects of somatostatin. Somatostatin induced a Ca2+ -dependent, tetrodotoxin-sensitive release of [3H]GABA from the preparations preloaded with [3H]GABA. Therefore somatostatin exerts excitatory and inhibitory effects on the cholinergic neuron due to the stimulation of the GABAergic neuron, and the motility of the intestine is regulated.

1. Motoneurons innervating peroneal muscles were recorded intracellularly in anesthetized cats during sustained submaximal isometric contractions of peroneus brevis produced by repetitive electrical stimulation of motor axons in the distal portion of cut ventral root filaments. 2. In contrast with the inhibition previously observed during contractions of gastrocnemius medialis muscle in triceps surae motoneurons, the afferent input generated by peroneus brevis contraction elicited excitatory potentials in nearly all motoneurons supplying peroneus brevis, peroneus tertius, or peroneus longus muscles. 3. We ascribed the contraction-induced excitation of peroneal motoneurons to spindle afferents for two reasons. First, the amplitude of contraction-induced excitatory potentials increased when the ventral root stimulation strength was increased to recruit gamma-axons. Second, with stimulation strengths under gamma-threshold, peroneus brevis contraction still excited peroneal motoneurons, and we obtained evidence that activation of spindles by skeletofusimotor beta-axons could account at least partly for this excitation. 4. The lack of contraction-induced inhibition in peroneal motoneurons and the prevalence of contraction-induced excitation raised the possibility that, in contrast to the usual effects of tendon organ afferents, Ib afferents from peroneus brevis might exert an excitatory influence on homonymous motoneurons. The fact that electrical stimulation of group I afferents in the nerve to peroneus brevis only exceptionally evoked inhibition in peroneal motoneurons would appear compatible with this hypothesis. Furthermore, stimulation of cutaneous afferents, known to facilitate transmission in Ib pathways, only exceptionally revealed a weak contraction-induced inhibition.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A previous study indicated that the swallowing reflex is inhibited during rhythmic jaw movements induced by electrical stimulation of the anterior cortical masticatory area. Rhythmic jaw movements were induced by electrical stimulation of the central amygdaloid nucleus (CeA). The swallowing central pattern generator is the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) and the lateral reticular formation in the medulla. Morphological studies have reported that the CeA projects to the NTS and the lateral reticular formation. It is therefore likely that the CeA is related to the control of the swallowing reflex. The purpose of this study was to determine if rhythmic jaw movements driven by CeA had inhibitory roles in the swallowing reflex induced by electrical stimulation of the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN). Rats were anesthetised with urethane. The SLN was solely stimulated for 10 s, and the swallowing reflex was recorded (SLN stimulation before SLN + CeA stimulation). Next, the SLN and the CeA were electrically stimulated at the same time for 10 s, and the swallowing reflex was recorded during rhythmic jaw movements (SLN + CeA stimulation). Finally, the SLN was solely stimulated (SLN stimulation following SLN + CeA stimulation). The number of swallows was reduced during rhythmic jaw movements. The onset latency of the first swallow was significantly longer in the SLN + CeA stimulation than in the SLN stimulation before SLN + CeA stimulation and SLN stimulation following SLN + CeA stimulation. These results support the idea that the coordination of swallowing reflex with rhythmic jaw movements could be regulated by the CeA.
