Abstract
Records of action currents from the rectus femoris muscle give indications of periodic neural discharges during the knee-jerk response proper. Periodic groupings of the oscillations, which have been termed "envelopes," occur at the rate of 10-20 per sec. Action currents during the knee-jerk were strikingly similar to those obtained during voluntary contraction.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
