Responses of primary somatosensory cortical neurons to controlled mechanical stimulation.
The results of psychophysical studies suggest that displacement velocity may contribute significantly to the sensation of subcortical somatosensory neurons. The cortical correlates of these phenomena, however, are not known. In the present study the responses of rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in the forelimb region of cat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to controlled displacement of skin and h...
متن کاملShort and long latency jaw-opening reflex responses elicited by mechanical stimulation in man.
Jaw-opening reflex responses elicited by tapping the chin during maximum clenching in incisal edge-to-edge contact position were studied in 10 healthy subjects. Stimuli were also delivered during weak clenching on a rubber stamp, separating the incisors by approx. 10 mm and protruding the mandible to the edge-to-edge incisor relationship. All four central incisors were stimulated simultaneously...
متن کاملShort reflex expirations (expiration reflexes) induced by mechanical stimulation of the trachea in anesthetized cats
Fifty spontaneously breathing pentobarbital-anesthetized cats were used to determine the incidence rate and parameters of short reflex expirations induced by mechanical stimulation of the tracheal mucosa (ERt). The mechanical stimuli evoked coughs; in addition, 67.6% of the stimulation trials began with ERt. The expiration reflex mechanically induced from the glottis (ERg) was also analyzed (99...
متن کاملReflex responses induced by tooth unloading.
The reflex response of the masseter muscle to the rapid unloading of a single maxillary incisor tooth was studied. Unloading of a static force of 2 N in the horizontal direction resulted in a short-latency excitation, inhibition, and long-latency excitation of masseter muscle activity occurring at latencies of approximately 13, 20, and 40 ms, respectively, with a corresponding change in bite fo...
متن کاملReflex responses of human masseter motor units to mechanical stimulation of the teeth.
Our aim was to investigate the jaw reflexes using both the probability- and the discharge rate-based analysis methods. Twelve consenting volunteer subjects participated in this study. Subjects bit gently on bite bars that carried the impression of their teeth. Surface and intramuscular electrical activity of the masseter was recorded. With the help of audio feedback from one motor unit, each su...
