| Abstract: | A model has been developed to simulate the parallel channels of muscle spindles and their monosynaptic connections to a homonymous motoneuron in the turtle. Input to the model is muscle length and  stimulation, output is motoneuronal membrane potential. Quality of transmission is greatly dependent upon dispersive properties of the system. The contributions of different dispersive features are compared and also cumulative effects are considered. Reference is made to conditions which are found in actual movements. |
