Thereis no rapidly developing atrophy, and the muscles respond normally toelectricity. No satisfactory explanation has as yet been offered of theabolition of the deep reflexes in complete or nearly complete transverselesion of the cord above the level of the reflex arcs; although neuritis issupposed by some to be the cause of this loss of the deep reflexes, it isprobably not the cause in all cases. Second, there is impaired sensibilityin the parts supplied by sensory ner\es associated with correspondingsegments below the lesion. Anesthesia does not, however
