Modulation of human muscle spindle discharge by arterial pulsations--functional effects and consequences.

Modulation of human muscle spindle discharge by arterial pulsations--functional effects and consequences.

Arterial pulsations are known to modulate muscle spindle firing; however, the physiological significance of such synchronised modulation has not been investigated. Unitary recordings were made from 75 human muscle spindle afferents innervating the pretibial muscles. The modulation of muscle spindle...
