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
Nine patients with complete denervation of the tibialis anterior were admitted to a stimulation program in order to restore dorsiflexion of the foot. Best results were obtained with pulses of 20-msec pulse width and 20-msec interval. After 3 weeks of training for 2 x 20 minlday, dorsiflexion due to
Spike-triggered averaging (STA) has been used to extract twitch profiles of single motor units (SMU) within the human masseter muscle. However, the reported twitch tensions may have been biased by the voluntary firing frequency of the SMUs, the complex architecture of the muscle, and by the biomecha
The hypothesis that long-latency reflex activity in human small hand muscles in response to stimulation of digital nerves involves a transcortical pathway was tested by combining digital nerve stimulation and magnetic stimulation over the motor cortex in 12 studies on nine normal subjects. Postsynap
