Abstract
The relationship between paw preference and reflex size from wrist flexors was studied in spinal cats. Paw preference was assessed by a food-reaching test. The monsynaptic H reflex and the polysynaptic reflexes were recorded from the median or ulnar nerves following stimulation of the same nerves electrically. The mono- and polysynaptic reflexes were found to be significantly larger on the left side than the right side in right-preferent spinal cats and vice versa in left-preferent spinal cats.
