Today muscle spindles are thought to be the primary receptor responsible for limb position and velocity. A mathematical model describing the muscle spindle's complex dynamical behavior was developed recently by Hasan. Other researchers have observed neuronal firing in the cortex of primates when muscles surrounding a joint have been passively stretched by joint movement. The purpose of this paper is to apply the muscle spindle model to a "two-muscle joint" and quantitate the resultant firing rates for various joint positions and velocities. With this information insights into the required neuronal dynamics for extracting position and velocity information from muscle spindles can be gained.
如今，肌梭被认为是负责肢体位置和速度的主要感受器。哈桑最近开发了一个描述肌梭复杂动态行为的数学模型。其他研究人员观察到，当关节周围的肌肉因关节运动而被被动拉伸时，灵长类动物皮层中的神经元会放电。本文的目的是将肌梭模型应用于“双肌肉关节”，并量化不同关节位置和速度下的放电率。通过这些信息，可以深入了解从肌梭中提取位置和速度信息所需的神经元动力学。
