We are exploring its effects on other reflexes and on locomotion. Rats were implanted with EMG electrodes in both solei (SOL<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>and SOL<jats:sub>L<\/jats:sub>) and right quadriceps (QD<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>), and stimulating cuffs on both posterior tibial (PT) nerves and right posterior femoral nerve. When SOL<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>EMG remained in a defined range, PT<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>stimulation just above M-response threshold elicited the SOL<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>H-reflex. Analogous procedures elicited the QD<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>and SOL<jats:sub>L<\/jats:sub>H-reflexes. After a control period, each rat was exposed for 50 d to a protocol that rewarded SOL<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>H-reflexes that were above (HRup rats) or below (HRdown rats) a criterion. HRup conditioning increased the SOL<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>H-reflex to 214 \u00b1 37% (mean \u00b1 SEM) of control (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.02) and decreased the QD<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>H-reflex to 71 \u00b1 26% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.06). HRdown conditioning decreased the SOL<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>H-reflex to 69 \u00b1 2% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.001) and increased the QD<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>H-reflex to 121 \u00b1 7% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>= 0.02). These changes remained during locomotion. The SOL<jats:sub>L<\/jats:sub>H-reflex did not change. During the stance phase of locomotion, ankle plantarflexion increased in HRup rats and decreased in HRdown rats, hip extension did the opposite, and hip height did not change. The plasticity that changes the QD<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>H-reflex and locomotor kinematics may be inevitable (i.e., reactive) due to the ubiquity of activity-dependent CNS plasticity, and\/or necessary (i.e., compensatory) to preserve other behaviors (e.g., locomotion) that would otherwise be disturbed by the change in the SOL<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>H-reflex pathway. The changes in joint angles, coupled with the preservation of hip height, suggest that compensatory plasticity did occur.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1523\/jneurosci.1526-11.2011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,3]],"date-time":"2011-08-03T23:48:44Z","timestamp":1312415324000},"page":"11370-11375","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Operant
