Fusimotor stimulation and the dynamic sensitivity of the secondary ending of the muscle spindle

M C Brown et al. J Physiol. 1967 Apr.

Abstract

The response of secondary endings of de-efferented muscle spindles in the soleus muscle of the anaesthetized cat was recorded during stretching of the muscle at velocities of 5-30 mm/sec. Stimulation of single fusimotor fibres, most and probably all of which were static fusimotor fibres, produced no appreciable change in the normally small dynamic sensitivity of these endings.
