Résumé

Les effets de la picrotoxine et de la strychnine sur l'efficacité inhibitrice fusimotrice, évoqués par la stimulation des fibres sensorielles de la moelle du chat, ont été étudiés. Les observations montrent que la picrotoxine réduit l'efficacité inhibitrice, tandis que la strychnine n'a pas d'effet notable.
