H reflexes were induced in the human quadriceps muscle by electrical stimulation of the femoral nerve. The reflexes were conditioned by prior stimulation of the inferior soleus nerve. The conditioning stimulus produced an inhibition of long duration (>20 ms).

Changes in the firing probability of motor units belonging to leg and thigh muscles were used to describe the pattern of distribution of recurrent inhibition evoked by motor discharges from various motor nuclei in the human lower limb. Discharges of units in soleus, gastrocnemius medialis, peroneus brevis, tibialis anterior, quadriceps and biceps femoris were investigated following a conditioning stimulation which evoked either a monosynaptic reflex in quadriceps, triceps surae or peroneal motor neurones, or an antidromic motor volley in one of the following nerves: inferior soleus, gastrocnemius medialis, superficial peroneal, deep peroneal, or femoral nerve. In many motor unit-nerve combinations a trough in the post-stimulus time histogram, indicating an inhibition, appeared immediately after the heteronymous Ia excitation.

Changes in the firing probability of single motor units in response to electrical stimulation of muscle nerves were used to derive the projections of muscle spindle Ia afferents to the motoneurones of various leg and thigh muscles. Discharges of units in soleus, gastrocnemius medialis, peroneus brevis, tibialis anterior, quadriceps, biceps femoris and semitendinosus were investigated after stimulation of inferior soleus, gastrocnemius medialis, superficial peroneal, deep peroneal and femoral nerves. Homonymous facilitation, occurring at the same latency as the H reflex and therefore attributed to monosynaptic Ia EPSPs, was found in virtually all the sampled units.

1. The time course of the changes in presynaptic inhibition of Ia fibres to soleus motoneurones has been investigated during a voluntary ramp-and-hold plantar flexion. 2.
