GABAB receptors mediate presynaptic inhibition of proprioceptive afferents and have reduced action after spinal cord injury.

Krista Metz, Krishnapriya Hari, Ana M. Lucas‐Osma, Riya Mangukia, Temitayo O. Ayantayo, Isabel Concha Matos, Yao Sun, Jaynie F. Yang, David J. Bennett, Monica A. Gorassini

This paper identifies GABAB receptors as mediators of presynaptic inhibition in Ia afferents, showing their reduced function after spinal cord injury.

Post-activation depression produces extensor H-reflex suppression following flexor afferent conditioning

Krista Metz, Isabel Concha Matos, Krishnapriya Hari, Omayma Bseis, Babak Afsharipour, S. Lin, Y. Li, R. Singla, Keith K. Fenrich, DJ. Bennett, MA. Gorassini

The paper investigates the mechanism of extensor H-reflex suppression by flexor afferent conditioning, finding it results from post-activation depression of Ia-afferents and long-lasting inhibition of motoneurons, not direct presynaptic inhibition.

Facilitation of sensory axon conduction to motoneurons during cortical or sensory evoked primary afferent depolarization (PAD) in humans

Krista Metz, Isabel Concha Matos, Y. Li, Babak Afsharipour, Christopher K. Thompson, Francesco Negro, DJ. Bennett, MA. Gorassini

This study shows that sensory and corticospinal pathways facilitate, rather than inhibit, sensory feedback in humans by activating nodal GABAA receptors on Ia-afferents.
