Abstract
The effect of a polarizing current on electrical activity of the isolated frog muscle spindle was studied. A depolarizing current increased the frequency and reduced the amplitude of afferent spike activity, both spontaneous and evoked by mechanical stimulation. A hyperpolarizing current produced the opposite effect. The amplitude of the receptor potential in response to a mechanical stimulus varied as a linear function of the intensity of the polarizing current
