TL;DR
An interpretation of the wave form of the extracellular responses of single cells in the dorsal nucleus of the lateral geniculate body (LGN) of the cat is provided and it is suggested thatextracellular recording may reveal information not available from intracellular records.

The numerical result is an estimated range of membrane resistivity values for mammalian motoneurons, and a corresponding set of values for the dendritic to soma conductance ratio, significantly greater than those currently accepted in the literature.

Curves of the strength of the stimuli required for eliciting small or full spikes have been constructed in a number of conditions and it is assumed that threshold of the major portions of the soma membrane is higher than the threshold ofThe axon, the transition occurring over a finite area near the axon hillock.

An attempt to determine the factors governing the generation of spike potentials in these three components, and the way in which they are related to the discharge of an impulse down the axon of the motoneurone.

The criteria have been established for tract and radiation axons by recording directly from these pathways after having inserted the electrode under stereotaxic control, and the findings cannot be applied indiscriminately to situations where the electrodes are of different shape, material or resistance.

Twenty-six cells impaled in 69 experiments were proved, by their response to antidromic stimulation of the medullary pyramid, to be cells of origin of pyramidal axones (loosely described as Betz cells throughout this paper), which were naturally active from time to time under the light anaesthesia employed.

The results of these experiments stimulate the visual cortex in cats whilst recording extracellularly from units in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and optic radiation with both these objects in mind and support the theories advanced by Araki & Otani (1955), Coombs et al. (1957a, b) and Fuortes et al (19 1957).

169 Citations1958C. Edwards, David Ottoson
Investigation of the site of impulse initiation in the nerve cell of the crustacean stretch receptor concluded that the conducted impulse usually arose in the dendrites or cell body soma, and that only during strong excitation did the impulse arise in the initial portion of the axon.

Observations are limited to the synaptic relation of the optic fibres with the geniculates cells, since sufficient information about the retinal projection on the lateral geniculate body has already been gathered by Loepp (1912), Brouwer (1923), and Overbosch (27).

119 Citations1958W. H. Freygang
The lateral geniculate nucleus of the cat was explored with micropipettes having submicroscopic tips and evidence is interpreted as suggesting that most of the soma-dendritic membrane is excited synaptically to produce a postsynaptic potential, but is not excited electrically and does not produce a propagating spike.

112 Citations1959W. H. Freygang, K. Frank
Intracellular spikes are transformed, by means of a circuit which is equivalent to the extracellular recording situation, into transients that are like those appearing Extracellularly, which shows that the membrane at the extracllular recording site does not produce a spike.

100 Citations1957C. H. Håkansson
The recorded action potentials indicate that the extracellular action potential can be accounted for by means of the second derivative of the intracellular potential, and a third positive phase of the volume conducted potential which is present in nerve disappears within the noise level for the muscle fibre in Ringer's solution because of the more protracted course of repolarization.

85 Citations1953P. O. Bishop
It is concluded that the presence of a positive synaptic potential indicates that the proximal portions of the axons are acting as sources of current for sinks in the region of the dendrites and cell bodies in the cat's optic nerve.

It is inferred from this conclusion that output of transmitter after a 15-sec tetanus is increased above normal by not more than a few per cent; after a 10-min tetanus the increase is much greater and lasts for several minutes; and that the action of LSD is postsynaptic.
