1. Effect of 20E on the resistance reflex response recorded from the depressor nerve.
Effect of 20E on the resistance reflex response recorded from the depressor nerve. (A) Examples of depressor nerve activities recorded from a control and a treated preparation (20E treated) in response to a sine wave movement continuously applied to the CBCO strand in order to mimic upward (during stretch) and downward (during release, light gray area) movements of the leg. The resistance reflex discharge recorded from the depressor nerve in the control preparation was strong and occurred during the release phase, whereas it was weaker and more dispersed in the treated preparation. (B) Mean ± s.e.m. depressor nerve frequencies from all control and treated preparations during 60 cycles of movement (300 s). The cyclic motor nerve activity was split into 29 bins.
