Figure 5. The effect of inhibition of the fast motoneurons.

Figure 5

The angular movement and the neuronal activities displayed in the panels are the same as in Fig. 4. Inhibition was brought about in the model by reducing the value of both conductances Inline graphic and Inline graphic of the inhibitory currents to the interneurons IN1 and IN3, respectively (cf. Fig. 1), from Inline graphic to Inline graphic A: leaving the values of the conductances Inline graphic and Inline graphic at IN2 and IN4, respectively, unchanged at Inline graphic (no change to the input of the slow MNs); B: increasing the values of these conductances to Inline graphic (disinhibition of the slow MNs). Note the large difference in the amplitude of the oscillation after the onset (at Inline graphic) of the inhibition to the fast MNs.
