Research Abstract

Voltage-sensitive dye imaging revealed the recruitment of many MNs in the whole nucleus of masseter in response to repetitive stimulation at 100 Hz of the presumed spindle Ia inputs, which is visible in the slices that were obtained by cutting the brainstem at 15° tilted rostrally from the coronal plane. Illusion caused by vibration of primary sensory endings in human revealed a critical involvement of Ia inputs in regulating the orderly recruitment of masseter muscles.
