“…The F recurrent discharge is an unnatural event that results from the reactivation of the motoneurone initial segment or first node consequent to antidromic invasion of the soma-dendritic tree by an antidromic pulse originating at a more peripheral location on the motor axon (Eccles, 1955;Dawson and Merton, 1956;Thorne, 1965;Gassel and Wiesendanger, 1965;McLeod and Wray, 1966;Bergmans, 1970;Trontelj, 1973a). The variability observed in the latency and pattern of the F discharge results from the fact that it represents the sum of the relatively infrequent F discharges in a limited fraction of the total population of motor units, the latency for any particular MUP F discharge being quite fixed (Bergmans, 1970;Trontelj, 1973a;Trontelj and Trontelj, 1973;Feasby and Brown, 1974;Yates and Brown, 1977;Schiller and Stalberg, 1978).…”

“…Other than in newborns and infants (Thomas and Lambert, 1960). a more widcspread presence of H reflexes occurs in abnormal states (Magladery et al, 1952;French et al, 1961;Thorne, 1965) and has been considered an "indication of chronic upper motoneurone dysfunction" (Garcia-Mullin and Mayer, 1972). On the other hand, responses with the characteristics of H reflexes may appear in a wider distribution in normal states with muscle contraction (Hagbarth, 1962), and this may also alter the responses obtained with supramaximal stimulation (Upton et al, 1971).…”

“…Um fato a ser considerado é que a amplitude da onda F sendo significativamente menor que o da onda M sugere que aquela onda é produzida por um menor núme-ro de neurônios motores ativados do que para a geração da onda M. Em indivíduos normais, a amplitude da onda F corresponde a 1-5% da amplitude da onda M 14 . A análise individual das ondas F sugere que cada uma delas é gerada por 1 a 3 unidades motoras 9,15 . Fator polêmico são quais os tipos de neurônios motores responsáveis pela geração de ondas F. Alguns autores 15,16 sugerem que essas ondas seriam geradas preferencialmente por neurônios motores grandes, hipótese não compartilhada por outros [17][18][19] que entenderam não haver especificidade dos neurônios geradores de ondas F. Dentre estes, Kimura e col. 17 , apresentam um estudo com três series de experimentos nos quais estimulam seletivamente grupos de neurônios motores através da técnica de estimulação sublimiar ou da técnica de colisão e concluem que tanto neurônios motores maiores quanto menores podem gerar ondas F. Conclusão semelhante é feita por Dengler e col. 18 , que analisam os neurônios geradores de ondas F registrando além dos potenciais das ondas M e F a força de contração das unidades motoras envolvidas.…”
