The transient suppression of muscle contraction during the cutaneous silent period (CSP) could be produced either through postsynaptic inhibition of motoneurons or through presynaptic inhibition of the excitatory inputs to motoneurons that sustain voluntary contraction. We sought to delineate the me
Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) were recorded intracellularly from hindlimb motoneurones of the anaesthetized fresh water turtle. The EPSPs were evoked from low threshold muscle afferents and the amplitudes saturated for stimuli less than two times the nerve threshold. The segmental laten
