The pattern of projections of low threshold afferents from triceps and biceps brachii muscles onto motoneurones innervating muscles acting at the wrist was assessed by a reflex and a poststimulus time histogram (psth) technique. Activation of low-threshold afferents originating from elbow flexors or

Cross-correlations between stimuli delivered to peripheral nerves and the discharges of single, voluntarily activated, motor units can provide information about facilitatory and inhibitory projections to single spinal motoneurons in man. The projection frequency, under the given circumstances, of a
Variations of the soleus H-reflex were studied during voluntary isometric or anisometric contractions of the tibialis anterior in man. At the onset of isometric contractions there was a weak inhibition of the soleus H-reflex, which was not related to the force of the tibialis anterior contraction. 1
Stimulation of low threshold afferents in the peroneal nerve causes a short latency facilitation of individual tibialis anterior motor units considered to be due to the composite Ia EPSP. This facilitation is depressed by vibration 20 to 128 Hz applied over the tibialis anterior. The depression occu
