Journal ArticleDOI
Dependence of the Achilles tendon reflex on the excitability of spinal reflex pathways.
David Burke,B. McKeon,N F Skuse +2 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that changes in reflex responsiveness occurred through intrinsic spinal mechanisms independent of the fusimotor system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of fusimotor neurones by motor cortical stimulation in human subjects.
TL;DR: It is suggested that transient stimulation of the motor cortex may effectively access fusimotor neurones and, if so, this occurred before the recruitment of alpha‐motoneurones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue in multiple sclerosis: mechanisms and management.
TL;DR: Restoration of normal conduction in demyelinated axons with selective channel blockers improves fatigue and may yet prove useful as a neuroprotective strategy, in preventing secondary axonal degeneration and consequent functional impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of training on voluntary activation of human fusimotor neurons
Simon C. Gandevia,David Burke +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that fusimotor neurons in awake human subjects cannot be activated voluntarily without also activating low-threshold alpha-motoneurons.
