Carp %K Spinal Cord %X Recent work has shown that the monosynaptic pathway of the SSR can be operantly conditioned, and that a significant part of the plasticity responsible for the behavioral change resides in the spinal cord. The most likely sites of this activity-driven plasticity are the synapse of the Ia afferent neuron on the motoneuron and/or the motoneuron itself. Because the SSR pathway is the simplest and most accessible stimulus-response pathway in the vertebrate CNS, it may provide a valuable experimental model for elucidating activity-driven CNS changes responsible for learning. %B Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences %V 627 %P 338–348 %8 08/1991 %G eng %U http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1883143 %R 10.1111/j.1749-6632.1991.tb25936.x
