Postural reflexes act through a single excitatory motoneuron of the several that innervate a flexor muscle of the cockroach leg. A peripheral inhibitory neuron whose axon accompanies this excitatory motoneuron is able to suppress muscle tensions developed from postural reflexes without affecting centrally generated muscle tensions. The inhibitory neuron could thus serve to rapidly suppress postural tensions at the initiation of escape.
姿势反射通过支配蟑螂腿部屈肌的多个运动神经元中的一个兴奋性运动神经元起作用。伴随该兴奋性运动神经元的轴突的外周抑制性神经元能够抑制由姿势反射产生的肌肉张力，而不影响中枢产生的肌肉张力。因此，该抑制性神经元可以在逃避开始时迅速抑制姿势张力。
