The present review examines the experimental evidence supporting the existence of central
mechanisms able to modulate the synaptic effectiveness of sensory fibers ending in the …

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 …

Golgi tendon organs are contraction-sensitive mechanoreceptors of mammalian skeletal
muscles innervated by fast-conducting Ib afferent fibers. With this clear-cut definition, tendon …

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 …

A computational model of the mammalian spinal cord circuitry incorporating a two‐level
central pattern generator (CPG) with separate half‐centre rhythm generator (RG) and pattern …

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

1. We investigated whether human subjects can activate selectively flexor pollicis longus
(FPL) and digital portions of flexor digitorum profundus (FDP). These muscles were selected …

This review summarises features of networks of commissural interneurones co-ordinating
muscle activity on both sides of the body as an example of feline elementary spinal …
