Abstract

In the previous paper (1), the authors reported that splanchnic afferent impulses recorded from the ventrolateral funiculus of the feline spinal cord were inhibited by small doses (2-4 mg/kg) of morphine and this effect was mainly mediated through its facilitatory effect on the descending inhibitory system of the lower brain stem acting upon the spinal sensory transmission. One of the authors (H.T.) (2) has previously reported that a larger dose (6 mg/kg) of morphine blocked splanchnic afferent impulses recorded from the dorsal funiculus of the spinal cord and this effect was reversed by nalorphine.
