[Skin mechanoreceptor functioning in the white rat during transcranial electrostimulation]. 1990

L D Enin, and G N Akoev, and V P Lebedev, and I L Potekhina

Functional properties of skin afferents were studied by the method of registration of spike activity from single nerve fibres, innervated non-hairy skin in white rats. It was found that mechanoreceptor units varied by the threshold intensity of applied stimulus. These units were divided to three functional groups: low-, medium- and high-threshold units. Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) strongly affected on the functional characteristics of skin afferents. Full suppression of responses was observed in 18-20 min. irrespective of the category of units. A local intracutaneous injection of naloxon eliminated the effect of TES. It is supposed that endogenous opioid peptides regulate an afferent discharge on the level of sensory endings during TES.

D004723 Endorphins One of the three major groups of endogenous opioid peptides. They are large peptides derived from the PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN precursor. The known members of this group are alpha-, beta-, and gamma-endorphin. The term endorphin is also sometimes used to refer to all opioid peptides, but the narrower sense is used here; OPIOID PEPTIDES is used for the broader group. Endorphin
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
