Abstract
Central and peripheral factors regulate the threshold and time course of the micturition reflex in the adult animal. Detrusor reflex contractile responses require the support of brain-stem mechanisms in the adult rabbit. In the early post-natal period peripheral organization of detrusor contractile activity enables reflex responses to be elicited after acute neurological isolation of the bladder.
