The effects of multiple reflex pathways on the oscillations in neuro-muscular systems
Abstract
A model of mammalian neuro-muscular systems described previously (Oguztoreli and Stein, 1975) has been extended to include multiple reflex pathways, as have been shown to exist in primates, including man (Milner-Brown et al., 1975). A number of general mathematical properties of the extended system are described. In the final section, using computer solutions, it is shown that the presence of multiple reflex pathways can effectively reduce the tendency for oscillation which will exist if high reflex gain were concentrated in a single pathway. High loop gain is desirable for good control in any negative feedback system, so the presence of multiple reflex pathways could improve reflex control, while limiting the magnitude of tremor or other unwanted oscillations in neuro-muscular systems.

Mathematical models examining effects of loop times of multiple reflex pathways in interaction with their relative gain on resulting oscillations show that frequency is dependent on loop times as well as on the distribution of gains within these multiple loops.
“This is in agreement with mathematical models examining the effects of loop times of multiple reflex pathways in interaction with their relative gain'2 on the resulting oscillations. Then frequency is dependent on loop times as well as on the distribution of gains within these multiple loops.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
