The multi-channel system of the segmental muscle stretch reflex arc is modelled as an arrangement of two or three parallel "component" loops coupled to each other at spinal and at muscle level. Such a model is thought to be more realistic than the usually adopted representation of the stretch reflex

Discharges of muscle spindle afferents from the soleus muscle were studied in kittens aged 1-21 days and in adult cats. Vibration applied longitudinally to the tendon elicited one impulse for each cycle of vibration over the range 1-200 Hz for the kittens and up to 450 Hz for the adult. Threshold am
Experiments were conducted in anaesthetized and spinalized cats to measure the extent to which the non-linear response of Ia afferent fibers to sinusoidal muscle stretch as expressed by the peristimulustime-histograms, PSTHs, can be transformed into a linear one by means of the superposition of rand
