Electrophysiological Studies on Gamma Motoneurones
Abstract
E ccles, J. C., R. M. E ccles, A. I ggo and A. L undberg. Electsophysiological studies on gamma motoneurones. Gamma motoneurones supplying the muscle spindles of limb muscles of cats have been investigated by microelectrodes either extracellular or intracellular, and shown to lie interspersed with the alpha motoneurones of that muscle. The spike potential of the gamma motoneurones resembles that of alpha motoneurones both in having an ‐IS–SD composition and in being followed by a long after‐hyperpolarization. When activated either by repetitive antidromic impulses, or by a prolonged depolarizing current, the gamma motoneurones give some spike potentials at much higher frequencies than the alpha. It was confirmed that the gamma motoneurones differ from the alpha in receiving no monosynaptic excitatory action, but there are polysynaptic excitatory and inhibitory actions from other afferents.

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.
