Abstract
Almost universally held is the concept that in transmission from one neuron to another the so-called postsynaptic potential is the essential step leading to discharge of the secondary neurons. According to the present experiments this is not so in the monosynaptic reflex system of the cat spinal cord. Its role in facilitation of response and certain other essential data are mentioned.Keywords
