Implication

No clinical implications yet; leaves open translation of DOPA effects on spinal afferents to humans.

Structured PICO

Population

unanaesthetized spinal cats

Intervention

injection of DOPA

Outcome

Contralateral dorsal root potential and excitability of contralateral afferent terminalssurrogate

In a feline spinal model, DOPA injection enables flexor reflex afferent volleys to evoke specific, long-lasting depolarization of contralateral Ia afferent terminals.
