    AbstractThe effects of peripheral conditioning stimuli on the thresholds of the jaw opening reflex (JOR) and of trigeminal brain stem neurones to tooth pulp stimulation were examined in chronically prepared, anaesthetized cats. High intensity electrical conditioning stimuli applied to the ipsilateral forepaw produced an increase in the thresholds of both responses, with the JOR thresholds being elevated significantly more, and remaining elevated for significantly longer, than those of the neurones. These findings suggest that the elevation of the JOR cannot be explained just by inhibitory effects on the brain stem neurones.
