Algebraical summation in synaptic activation of motoneurones firing within the ‘primary range’ to injected currents

1. In intracellular studies of cat lumbar motoneurones constant synaptic stimuli such as stretch, contraction or a high‐frequency stimulation of a cut afferent nerve have been superimposed on firing in response to injected currents.
