In 3 patients with a severe pure sensory neuropathy of subacute onset, the masseter reflex remained normal despite absent blink reflex responses and absent stretch reflexes in the extremities. In 20 patients with primary disorders of peripheral nerve axons or myelin, the masseter reflex was abnormal

Chronic axotomy of a peripheral motor nerve in cat causes a gradual reduction in the number of intramedullary axon collaterals originating from the axotomized motoneurons (Havton and Kellerth 1984, 1989). This axon collateral elimination would be expected to reduce the amount of recurrent inhibitory
Angular wrist displacements in the monkey result in a short-latency (20--25 ms) "reflex" response of motor cortical cells in area 4 and separate peaks of activity in the gross EMG of the stretched muscles. Frequency domain analysis was carried out between (1) wrist position as input and motor cortic
The effect of single shock stimulation, up to 20 x threshold (T), of the sural nerve on the discharges of triceps surae gamma-efferents was investigated in decerebrate cats. Units were classified as static (12) or dynamic (7) on the basis of their resting discharge rates (Murphy et al. 1984). All ne
