reverted to their old function. Do you think this process occurs only at spinal levels 

 or is capable of being produced by the whole nervous system? 



EccLES. I am very interested in the experiments of Dr Anokhin. We have done, 

 too, transplantation of muscles but have tested only the monosynaptic pathways in 

 the spinal animal. We find that the original pathways have been retained, and 

 there has been little or no resculpturing of the spinal connections. Mclntyre has 

 done similar experiments. There is general agreement that at the spinal level there 

 is little or no change of connections after muscle transplantation.
