On working with the toad, bufo formosus Baulenger, the dorsal spinal roots, the third, fourth and fifth, were stimulated with the motor effect upon the stomach and the lower part of oesophagus. No narcosis was used, and the section was carried out between the medulla oblongata and the spinal cord. The corresponding ventral spinal roots had no effect at all.
The present investigations therefore designate to revive the view that the dorsal roots carry viscero-motor impulses, which apparently nearly died out through rejection by the Cambridge physiologists, just as did the vasodilator problem.
