The first works that were done in this direction) date back to 1877, when Soltmann, on the basis of a number of experiments, proved that: the excitability of the motor nerves of a newborn with electrical stimulation is less, less pronounced than that of an adult; this excitability increases with the gradual growth of the animal up to the 6th week inclusive, when it reaches a similar value in an adult, sometimes even exceeding it; the myogram of a newborn is similar to that of a tired animal, it is characterized by a slight maximum increase and a gradual decrease, and the top of the curve is in the form of a plane, since the muscle remains longer at maximum contraction.
