Journal ArticleDOI
Task-dependent changes in the responses to low-threshold cutaneous afferent volleys in the human lower limb.
TL;DR: It is concluded that cutaneous mechanoreceptors of the foot have widespread reflex actions on muscles throughout both limbs, particularly the ipsilateral limb, and that the reflex pattern in different muscles and within a single muscle may change dependent on the task that the subject is undertaking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcranial electrical stimulation of the motor cortex in man: further evidence for the site of activation.
TL;DR: In this article, the motor cortex was stimulated electrically (vertex anode; cathode 6 cm lateral) in neurologically normal subjects undergoing surgery for scoliosis, and the evoked corticospinal volleys were recorded from the spinal cord using epidural electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large Involuntary Forces Consistent with Plateau-Like Behavior of Human Motoneurons
TL;DR: The present findings imply that plateau potentials can make a large contribution to forces produced by the human nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained contractions produced by plateau-like behaviour in human motoneurones
TL;DR: Overall, these centrally generated contractions are consistent with activation of plateau potentials in motoneurones innervating the ankle dorsiflexors and plantarflexors, and the interaction with volitional drives suggests that plateau behaviour may contribute significantly to the normal output of human mot oneurones.
