“…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).…”
