Organophosphorus (OP) agents such as diisopropylphosphorofluoridate (DFP) and sarin can facilitate and/or depress the monosynaptic reflex (MSR) in cats,lS2 in viva, and in the neonatal rat spinal cord,3 in vitra, in a manner unrelated to the activity of acetylcholinesterase. The depressant effects of sarin and DFP in the neonatal rat cord are reversed or prevented by antimuscarinic agents, such as atropine and pirenzepine, but not by the nicotinic blocking agents d-tubocurarine and mecamylamine (personal observations). Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) can reverse the sedative effects of various central nervous system depressants (e .g . barbiturates and ethano14p5), and its actions have been closely associated with central cholinergic sites.6 We therefore examined the ability of TRH to reverse OP-induced depression of the MSR.
