Abstract

Gamma motor activity is facilitated in the cats injected with tetanus toxin (e g Takano and Kano, 1973). But there is no report about the change in the properties of the muscle spindles Hitherto, vibratory stimulation of constant frequency has been used to elicit responses of muscle spindles. Because the threshold of the primary endings to the amplitude of vibration is not constant, depending on the frequency of the vibration (e g Takano et al., 1977), frequency modulated vibration (FM vibration) has been used to test the properties of the muscle spindle (Mizote, 1976) Using FM vibratory stimulation the response of primary endings in cats locally injected with tetanus toxin was studied, and compared with the response to vibration during repetitive fusimotor stimulation.
