Figure 1From: Differential contribution of electrically evoked dorsal root reflexes to peripheral vasodilatation and plasma extravasation Diagram of the experimental setup. A. The left L4 dorsal root is cut. The central stump is placed over a stimulating electrode (SE) while placing a strand from the left L5 dorsal root on a recording electrode (RE). B. A second cut is made at the left L5 dorsal root. The peripheral stump of the left L5 dorsal root is placed over a stimulating electrode. Seven minutes after Evans Blue injection (i.v.), electrical stimulation (20 V, 5 Hz, 0.5 ms for 5 min) is delivered, while a series of images is taken. C. A setup for stimulating an intact dorsal root.Back to article page
