Aim: This project will use both the classical (probability-based; Garnett and Stephens, 1980) and new techniques (frequency-based; T?rker and Powers, 1999) to study one of the most 'established' synaptic connections between peripheral receptors and motoneurones in human volunteers.
Hypothesis: When used conjointly, the frequency and probability-based analyses will help reduce errors in the estimation of the neuronal circuits in the human brain and spinal cord. This approach will set the norm for redefining neural circuits in the human central nervous system and will help correct and re-characterize many of the 'previously-established' circuits.
