Abstract
LONDON. Royal Society, Nov. 17.—T. Graham Brown: Absence of a near relationship between graded simple reflex fle ons and the relations thereof evoked by eonstai extension producing stimulus. In decerebrate,dats, graded flexion magnitudes of simple flexor sh%ening are obtained in response to flexion-producing stimuli of different intensities. Each of these simple shortenings is then subjected to the ‘inhibitory’ effect of a constant extension-producing stimulus—thus giving compound flexor shortening. Comparison of the magnitudes of simple flexor shortening and of compound flexor shortening fails to establish linear relationship between the two.
