Discharge pattern differences between cat interpositus and dentate neurons during isometric lever pressing.
Single-cell recordings in the cat during isometric muscle contraction with stepwise force development revealed that interpositus neurons tended to fire tonically with a maintained force level, whereas dentate neurons tended to fire rather phasically according to the rate of force transition.
