The effects of tetanic stimulation of peripheral afferents were examined on monosynaptic reflexes and dorsal root reflexes in kittens of various ages. Concomitantly recorded monosynaptic and dorsal root reflexes resulting from the stimulation of muscle nerves showed similar post-tetanic changes, namely, predominantly post-tetanic depression in neonates and post-tetanic potentiation in older kittens or adults. However, the changes in post-tetanic responses expressed as a percentage of control in dorsal root reflexes were much smaller than those in monosynaptic reflexes. When dorsal root reflexes originating from muscle and cutaneous afferents were compared, dorsal root reflexes from the latter behaved quite differently. For all ages, post-tetanic effects on dorsal root reflexes arising from cutaneous afferents were either insignificant or very small. The possible mechanisms underlying differences in post-tetanic effects from muscle and cutaneous afferents in adults and neonates are discussed.Key words: cat, kitten, development, dorsal root reflex, monosynaptic reflex, spinal cord, post-tetanic potentiation.
