This paper is in two parts: 'There', which is a review of some of the major advances in the study of spindle structure and function during the past 50 years, serving as an introduction to the symposium entitled 'Mechanotransduction, Muscle Spindles and Proprioception' held in Munich in July 2022; and 'And Back Again', presenting new quantitative morphological results on the equatorial nuclei of intrafusal muscle fibres and of the primary sensory ending in relationship to passive stretch of the spindle.
“There”,回顾了过去 50 年来在纺锤体结构和功能研究方面的一些主要进展,作为 2022 年 7 月在慕尼黑举行的题为“机械转导、肌肉纺锤体和本体感受”研讨会的介绍;和“又回来了”,介绍了关于肌梭内纤维赤道核和初级感觉末梢与纺锤体被动拉伸相关的新的定量形态学结果。
