We studied the properties of whole medial gastrocnemius (MG) and soleus muscles, and of 74 individual MG motor units in three cats with long-term complete low thoracic spinal transection (TS). All animals remained paraplegic and there was considerable atrophy of MG and soleus muscles. Motor units in
Contractile measures on 67 single muscle units in the cat lateral rectus muscle were made in response to motoneuron stimulation. Simultaneous activation of four to five additional units, using muscle nerve stimulation, allowed an examination of unit force summation. Linear force addition was found i
Inhibitory reflex responses to electrical stimulation of the mental nerve were studied in recordings from single motor units (SMU) in the human masseter muscle. A new analytical technique for spike train data was used. Electrical stimuli were delivered to the mental nerve when the SMU fired with two
