Abstract
The effects induced by IA volleys, evoked with H reflex, on the blink reflex elicited upon electric activation of supraorbital nerves were investigated in 14 healthy subjects as well as in 4 cerebrovascular patients. In both groups a significant increase in amplitude of the early component (R1) of ipsilateral blink reflex has been observed. A brief discussion of possible neural systems which might be involved in these effects is given.Keywords
