[Determination of supraspinal modification of reflex excitation]

On the basis of some examples is demonstrated, that by the aid of a defined pain stimulus of the N. medianus a generalized shockreaction occurs, which is modified by supraspinal influences. Using segmental electroneurographic recording from the autochthonous dorsal musculature--in notice of sensitivation and habituation--could be found a measure for the supraspinal reflex excitation.
