  2. 1. Classification of muscle stretch receptor afferents in humans

    Author : Benoni B. Edin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Muscle spindles; Golgi tendon organs; Classification of muscle receptors; Microneurography; Human hand; Stretch sensitization; Voluntary contraction; Static position sensitivity; Fusimotor control;

    Abstract : The response patterns of human stretch receptors in the finger extensor muscles of the forearm were studied using the microneurography technique. Single-unit recordings were obtained from one-hundred and twenty-four afferents. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular coding and physiological roles of excitatory neurons in motor control

    Author : Vanessa Ribeiro Caldeira; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Locomotion is a complex motor action that provides humans and other animals with the ability to move through the environment. In vertebrate locomotion, supraspinal centers convey the initiating or terminating command signals to the spinal cord which in turn generates the rhythm and pattern of muscle activities underlying locomotor activity.

  5. 3. Spontaneous Movements during Sleep Guide Spinal Self-organization: Formation and Expression of a Memory Trace

    Author : Per Petersson; Neurofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurologi; neuropsychology; Neurology; long-term memory; somatosensory; receptive field; learning; sensorimotor; developmental; neurophysiology; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi;

    Abstract : During development, information about the three-dimensional shape and mechanical properties of the body is laid down in the synaptic connectivity of sensorimotor systems through adaptive mechanisms. In spinal reflex systems, this enables the fast transformation of complex sensory information into adequate correction of movements. READ MORE
