Excitation and inhibition of jaw-closing motoneurons (Masseteric and Temporal Motoneurons, Mass. and Temp. Mns) during transient jaw closing, the so-called jaw-closing reflex, and prolonged jaw opening elicited by palatal stimulation were studied. By pressing the anterior palatal surfaces sustained

The activity of single motoneurones of m. flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) was investigated by recording their motor unit (MU) action potentials during weak and moderate voluntary muscle contractions. The MU firing rate range was 4.5-15 imp/s. The excitability of motoneurones was tested with a number of s
We activated the sciatic nerve afferents by either the discharge of a magnetic coil or a needle inserted near the nerve. Both types of stimulation induced facilitation of the vastus medialis (VM) H reflex, and of the VM response to transcranial magnetic stimulation, at the joint time of arrival of c
