Cholinergic partition cells and lamina X neurons induce a muscarinic-dependent short-term potentiation of commissural glutamatergic inputs in lumbar motoneurons.
Acetylcholine and the activation of muscarinic receptors influence the activity of neural networks generating locomotor behaviour in the mammalian spinal cord. Using electrical stimulations of the ventral commissure, we show that commissural muscarinic (CM) depolarisations could be induced in lumbar...
