1 B. The discharge rate in the Ia sensory fiber of a spindle increases during slow flexion of a finger. This increase depends on alpha-gamma co-activation. If the gamma motor neurons were not active, the spindle would slacken, and its discharge rate would decrease as the muscle shortened (see Figure 35–9C). (Adapted, with permission, from Vallbo 1981.)
