Abstract
Although postsynaptic inhibition of Renshaw cells in the spine is blocked by strychnine the depression of these neurons by electrophoretically administered noradrenaline is resistant to this alkaloid. This finding raises doubts as to whether noradrenaline is an inhibitory transmitter in the spinal cord of the cat.Keywords
