Surface electromyographic activity was recorded bilaterally from orbicularis oculi muscles when subjects relaxed and contracted eyelid muscles. Cutaneous reflex responses were evoked during both the relaxed and contraction states. Following reflex elicitation periods of muscle silence in orbicularis oculi were observed for about 10 to 15 ms after the ipsilateral R1 response and for up to 100 ms after the bilateral R2 responses. Reflex responses appeared to be enhanced when elicited during contractions. Possible physiological mechanisms are discussed regarding the presence of silent periods in a motor system that is presumably devoid of spindles, Golgi tendon organs, and Renshaw-like interneurons.
当受试者放松和收缩眼轮匝肌时,双侧记录眼轮匝肌的表面肌电图活动。在放松和收缩状态下均诱发皮肤反射反应。在同侧R1反应后,眼轮匝肌出现约10至15毫秒的肌肉静息期,在双侧R2反应后长达100毫秒。当在收缩过程中诱发时,反射反应似乎增强。针对一个可能没有肌梭、高尔基腱器官和类似闰绍细胞的中间神经元的运动系统中存在静息期的情况,讨论了可能的生理机制。
