Electromyographic (EMG) reflex responses were examined in the biceps muscle of awake Cebus monkeys trained to resist perturbations of a handle with their forearm. In particular responses at latencies of 15-20 msec (M1) and 40-55 msec (M2), thought to correspond to segmental and suprasegmental reflex

A sudden and rapid angular displacement of the limb evokes, in human and monkey subjects, a segmented pattern of electromyographic activity in muscles which are stretched. While the first segment is acknowledged to represent a tendon jerk, it has been proposed that the second segment, occurring with
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
