This review revolves primarily around segmental feedback systems established by muscle
spindle and Golgi tendon organ afferents, as well as spinal recurrent inhibition via Renshaw …

The performance of motor tasks requires the coordinated control and continuous adjustment
of myriad individual muscles. The basic commands for the successful performance of a …

The neural circuitry of the spinal cord is capable of solving some of the most complex
problems in motor control. Therefore, spinal mechanisms are much more sophisticated than …

Spinal motor systems receive a convergent input from descending tracts and peripheral
afferents. As a rule, there is multiform descending convergence from different supraspinal …

In this paper available knowledge on effects from joint and ligament afferents on spinal
neurones and pathways are briefly reviewed, and possible functional implications …

Our current understanding of synergistic muscle control is based on the analysis of muscle
activities. Modules (synergies) in muscle coordination are extracted from electromyographic …

2.1. Origins in psychology 2.2. Conditioning: a form of set, or vice versa? 2.3. Cell
assemblies, pathway activation 3. Nomenclature: parameters vs variables 4. State …

By tradition‐and for historical reasons‐reflex pathways and interneurones have been named
by their dominating sensory input. Later studies have demonstrated that each individual …

History The importance and sophistication of muscles as sources of somatosensory
information is a relatively recent and ongoing discovery. The presence of large myelinated …

Human studies in the past three decades have provided us with an emerging understanding
of how cortical and spinal networks collaborate to ensure the vast repertoire of human …
