Summary

Long-term experiments were performed on puppies, aged 2–4 months, in which the left hind leg was deafferentated.

This operation was performed by the section of the posterior roots and extirpation of the spinal ganglia. The number of roots which were divided varied from 3 to 8. It was established that deafferentation caused deep disturbances of the locomotor function and sensitivity of the deafferentated extremity both in puppies and in adult dogs. This differed from manifestations caused by affection of the Interocentral paths.
