Spinal cord seizures elicited by high pressures of helium

Rats with complete spinal transections were compressed in helium-oxygen to 120 bars. Tremors and increased EMG activity in limbs rostral as well as caudal to the lesions were observed beginning at 30 bars. Spinal seizures occured at 95 bars, similar to cortical seizure thresholds of intact rats. Den...

description Rats with complete spinal transections were compressed in helium-oxygen to 120 bars. Tremors and increased EMG activity in limbs rostral as well as caudal to the lesions were observed beginning at 30 bars. Spinal seizures occured at 95 bars, similar to cortical seizure thresholds of intact rats. Denervated limbs remained flaccid throughout the dives. No rostro-caudal progression of symptoms was evident in normal animals, but fluctuation of symptoms with increasing pressure was frequently observed. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the effects of pressure on aggregates of neurons exceed those on isolated components. Des rats avec transections spinales complètes ont éte comprimés en milieu hélium-oxygène à 120 bars. On observe à partir de 30 bars des tremblements et une activité EMG accrue au niveau des membres, tant en avant qu'en arrière des lésions. Des crises spinales surviennent à 95 bars, ce qui est semblable aux seuils de crises corticales chez des rats intacts. Les membres dénervés restent flaccide tout au long de la compression. Aucune progression rostro-caudale des symptômes n'apparaît chez les animaux normaux, mais on observe souvent une fluctuation des symptômes au fur et à mesure que l'on augmente la pression. Ces données sont conformes à l'hypothése suivant laquelle les effets de la pression sur des aggrégats de neurones sont plus grands que ceux qui s'exercent sur des composantes isolées.
