Spinal motor systems receive a convergent input from descending tracts and peripheral
afferents. As a rule, there is multiform descending convergence from different supraspinal …

This book presents a comprehensive account of the regions of the brain that control the
performance of skilled voluntary movements, especially the accurate and precise control of …

The third edition of this monograph continues to have the goal of providing an overview of
current thought about the spinal cord mechanisms that are responsible for sensory …

Social dilemmas occur when the pursuit of self-interest by individuals in a group leads to
less than optimal collective outcomes for everyone in the group. A critical assumption in the …

Local neuronal networks that are responsible for walking are poorly characterized in
mammals. Using an innovative approach to identify interneuron inputs onto motorneuron …

More than 30 years ago, Frank and Fuortes proposed that the synaptic effectiveness of
muscle spindle afferents associated with spinal motoneurones could be diminished by the …

1. Intracellular recording from medial gastrocnemius (MG) motoneurones was used to
examine postsynaptic potentials produced by electrical stimulation of the plantaris nerve at …

Intracellular recordings have been made from laminae V‐VI interneurones interposed in
pathways of non‐reciprocal inhibition of motoneurones from group I afferents of triceps …

Studies have shown that in the mammalian neuromuscular system stretch reflexes are
localized within individual muscles. Neuromuscular compartmentalization, the partitioning of …
