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.
