TL;DR: In anesthetized decerebellate cats, with additional decerebration or decortication and with one of two types of cervical spinal cuts which either eliminated the dorsal half of the spinal cord or spared the dorsal funiculi, conditioning stimulation in the raphe nuclei or periaqueductal gray modified transmission in the cuneate nucleus is shown.

TL;DR: In decerebrate, unanesthetized cats, subcutaneous injection of formaldehyde solutions in the receptive fields of spinal wide-dynamic-range neurons elicited an immediate and continuous discharge or burst activity in the neurons that lasted 10 to 55 min.

Antagonism of the spinal action of diazepam by semicarbazide
TL;DR: In spinal unanaesthetized cats, pretreatment with semicarbazide 2–4.5 h prior to the administration of diazepam completely blocked the enhancement of the segmental dorsal root reflex by the latter compound, and Pyridoxine hydrochloride restored the spinal effect of d Xanax administered 1 h later.

TL;DR: In anesthetized decerebellate cats with additional decerebration or decortication and with one of two types of cervical spinal lesions which either eliminated the dorsal half of the spinal cord or spared the dorsal funiculi, peripheral electric and localized natural stimuli activated neurons in the inferior raphe nuclear complex.
