How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? How vertebrates coordinate the eternal tug-o-war between involuntary reflexes and seamless voluntary movements ...
How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? This paper cuts directly into critical debates about how the ancient spinal cord and the relatively new human ...
THE primary afferent ending of the mammalian muscle spindle is highly sensitive to vibration 1–4. In the presence of fusimotor activity it may discharge an impulse on each cycle of vibration applied ...
Stretch sensors in our muscles participate in reflexes that serve the subconscious control of posture and movement. According to a new study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, these sensors ...
A number of brain areas change their activity before we execute a planned voluntary movement. A new study by Umeå University identifies a novel function of this preparatory neural activity, ...
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological Sciences, Vol. 154, No. 956 (Jul. 25, 1961), pp. 377-397 (21 pages) A tandem spindle is defined as one in which several encapsulated ...
Reflexes are automatic and involuntary actions the body produces in response to certain stimuli. While some reflexes can involve muscles and movement, others involve internal processes within the body ...
