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

High-intensity cutaneous stimuli inhibit tonically firing motor neurons resulting in a silent period (CSP) in EMG activity. To determine the central nervous system (CNS) circuitry of this inhibitory reflex, soleus H reflexes evoked by tibial nerve stimuli were conditioned by high-intensity sural sti
## Abstract We studied motor nueron excitability during the mixed nerve silent period (MNSP) in a hand muscle using magnetic motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and F‐waves. MEPs elicited between the V~1~ and V~2~ potentials of the MNSP were much larger than control MEPs elicited at rest, and were even
