Resumen

Systemic administration of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) increased the size of the cutaneous receptive fields of 9 of the 15 dorsal horn cells tested. These receptive fields were on the feet and toes of the hind limbs of cats. Receptive field sizes increased with increasing doses of 4-AP. However, 4-AP administration did not change the responses of dorsal horn cells to graded mechanical stimuli administered near the centers of their receptive fields.
