Nature and Significance of the Reflex Connections Established by Large Afferent Fibers of Muscular Origin

Abstract

The APS Journal Legacy Content is the corpus of 100 years of historical scientific research from the American Physiological Society research journals. This package goes back to the first issue of each of the APS journals including the American Journal of Physiology, first published in 1898. The full text scanned images of the printed pages are easily searchable. Downloads quickly in PDF format.

The effect of repetitive stimulation upon monosynaptic transmission in kittens

“…Skoglund, 1960a). Inhibition, either Group Ib (Laporte & Lloyd, 1952;Eccles, Eccles & Lundberg, 1957b) or recurrent (Renshaw, 1946;Eccles, Fatt & Koketsu, 1954;Skoglund, 1960a), could be invoked to account for an apparent lack of facilitation. However, the curves of Fig.…”

Excitatory synaptic action in motoneurones

“…When present, this could be responsible for an inhibitory synaptic activity commencing about 1 msec after the beginning of the e.p.s.p. produced by the Ia impulses (Laporte & Lloyd, 1952). The possible occurrence of this inhibitory activity was considered when interpreting the experimental findings.…”

Stretch reflex coupling between the hip and knee: implications for impaired gait following stroke

“…Since the latency of the RF reflex was the same as the stretch reflex in AL, the possibility of reciprocal excitation cannot be ruled out using the methods of the current study. It has been suggested that this phenomenon is mediated by groupIb afferent activity from antagonist muscles (Laporte and Lloyd 1952), so future studies utilizing varying force levels in antagonists should then be able to address this as a possible mechanism.…”
