| 44-46) It is accepted that joint receptors are primarily activated at the end range of motion, (46) but may have a larger influence on proprioception through interneuronal connections to gamma motoneurons, thus biasing spindle sensitivity. This tends to indicate that the effects of stimulation were mediated though a convergence of different spatial inputs upon a common interneuronal system. The inference was that for "CPG learning" to occur, interaction between side-specific proprioceptors and spinal interneuronal circuits is necessary. |
