Abstract
Summary A technique has been developed for measuring the EMG and isometric tension in the biceps femoris muscle of the conscious rat. This has enabled measurements of latency, duration of the EMG discharge and tension to be made during the habituation of the flexor reflex in response to repeated uniform stimuli applied to a web space of a hind limb. Habituation of the flexor reflex occurred more slowly in rats with bilateral lesions of the frontal cortex than in intact rats, or rats with unilateral lesions of the frontal cortex or bilateral lesions of the somato-sensory cortex.
