Purpose There is growing evidence that vertebral column function and dysfunction play a
vital role in neuromuscular control. This invited review summarises the evidence about how …

AIM OF THE REPORT: In the companion report (Başar, this volume), the physiological
fundaments of alpha activity in integrative brain function are described. The present report is …

Key points• While the eye movements have been well characterized during the vestibulo‐
ocular reflex, the corresponding motor unit activity in human eye muscles is not well …

In two papers dated 1928 to 1929 in The Journal of Physiology, Edgar Adrian and Detlev
Bronk described recordings from motor nerve and muscle fibres. The recordings from motor …

Sensory and corticospinal tract (CST) pathways activate spinal GABAergic interneurons that
have axoaxonic connections onto proprioceptive (Ia) afferents that cause long‐lasting …

Suppression of the extensor H‐reflex by flexor afferent conditioning is thought to be
produced by a long‐lasting inhibition of extensor Ia afferent terminals via GABAA receptor …

Transspinal (or transcutaneous spinal cord) stimulation is a noninvasive, cost-effective,
easily applied method with great potential as a therapeutic modality for recovering somatic …

Testing of exteroceptive electromyographic modulation of ongoing voluntary muscle activity
is of interest in normal human physiology and in diagnostic clinical neurophysiology in …

Motor neurons innervating antagonist muscles receive reciprocal inhibitory afferent inputs to
facilitate the joint movement in the two directions. The present study investigates the mutual …

Following spinal cord injury (SCI), prolonged muscle spasms are readily triggered by brief
sensory stimuli. Animal and indirect human studies have shown that a substantial portion of …
