Abstract
Mammalian spinal tracts in situ demonstrate a phase of marked hyperexcitability during hypoxia or on the application of an excess of potassium or citrate ion. This is in keeping with the fact that they also show post-spike supernormality as well as hyperexcitability under cathodal polarization (17). Behavior of this kind indicates that central axons carry a well developed L fraction of membrane properties.Keywords
