Fig. 5. Afferents from distal mechanoreceptors causing excitatory postsynaptic
potentials (EPSPs) in slow- and fast-depressor motoneurons of muscle M103d.
(A) Spikes from a posterior spur afferent evoke EPSPs in the fast-depressor
motoneuron. A central latency of 4 ms (mean not shown here) indicates a
polysynaptic connection. (B) Tibial hair afferents cause EPSPs in the
slow-depressor motoneuron with a central latency of 5 ms, indicating
polysynaptic connectivity.
