TL;DR
The technique of focal recording from within the spinal cord, and comparison of the temporal relations of simplified responses, have permitted a test of the hypothesis suggested by anatomical findings about differences in the patterns of discharge evoked in frog spinal motoneurones.

How various genetic and epigenetic events regulate the GABAergic genes in pre- and postnatal brain contribute to the pathogenesis of neurological disorders and can be used in the development of potential epigenetic therapy for these diseases.

446 Citations1955C. Eyzaguirre, Stephen W. Kuffler
The stretch receptor organs of Alexandrowicz in lobster and crayfish possess sensory neurons which have their cell bodies in the periphery and it is concluded that, once threshold excitation is reached, the generator potential within slow cell dendrites is well maintained for the duration of stretch.

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.

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.

Modulation of stimulation afferent to dendrite alone could induce potential wave forms of any duration, and the activity of dendrites appears to be such as to appropriately account for the potentials of the electrocorticogram.

It is concluded after examination of both intra- and extracellular recordings that there is a real synaptic delay of the order of 1 or 2 milliseconds at 15–20°C, and transmission cannot be electrical.

87 Citations1955B.G. Cragg, L. H. Hamlyn
The hippocampus is a most favourable structure for an investigation of the action potentials of neurones by extracellular recording, and the correlation between structure and response can be made more certain and more detailed than in a less sharply differentiated tissue.
