Summary of direction/load interactions

CS CP CP low-f NA low-f
Cells tested 31 104 24 64
Directional 12 (39%) 30 (29%) 11 (46%) 15 (23%)
Muscle-like 6 (19%) 40 (38%) 10 (42%) 29 (45%)
Other 13 (42%) 34 (33%) 3 (13%) 20 (31%)

The number (and percentage) of neurons in which movement direction and torque loads influenced perimovement activity according to one of the following patterns: Directional, significant direction effect with no load effects; Muscle-like, significant direction-by-load interaction in which loads opposing a cell's preferred direction of movement were correlated with elevated perimovement activity; Other, any significant load effect or direction-by-load interaction that did not fit the muscle-like pattern. Neuronal categories (CS, CP, CP low-f, and NA low-f) are explained in caption for Table 1.
