Comparison of time constants for two Voigt-element plants in four species
| T1 | T2 | TZ | Fit r2 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mouse | 0.114 | 0.876 | 0.498 | 0.996 |
| Rabbit | 0.275 | 3.390 | 1.640 | 0.973 |
| Cat | 0.112 | 2.959 | 2.285 | 0.977 |
| Cat 2 | 0.141 | 0.689 | 0.600 | 0.845 |
| Rhesus | 0.063 | 0.482 | 0.271 | 0.980 |
| Rhesus, displacement | 0.026 | 0.102 | n/a | n/a |
Values are time constants for 2-pole, 1-zero (2P-1Z) plants, where T1 andT2 are time constants of the poles and TZ is the time constant of the zero, determined by fitting r/k vs. frequency curves for mouse, rabbit (Stahl and Simpson 1995), cat, and rhesus (Fuchs et al. 1988). Cat data are based on mean data from 9 motoneurons (MN) and 7 internuclear neurons (INT) (Goldberg 1980). Cat 2 data are based on pooling 1 MN and 1 INT in a published study (Delgado-Garcia et al. 1986a, 1986b). Rhesus, displacement data include the comparable pole time constants for the rhesus determined from movements following electrical stimulation of the abducens nerve (Anderson et al. 2009).
