Abstract The functional state of the muscle receptors was studied in experiments on frogs by recording the spontaneous afferent impulse flow and that evoked by stretching the gastrocnemius muscle in the peripheral portion of the divided sciatic nerve or in dorsal roots IX–X of the spinal cord. Strychnine, if injected into the general circulation or applied directly to the muscle, reduced spike generation in the muscle receptors, but if applied to the spinal cord, it increased spike generation.
