Highlighted claims
- Anterior horn cells in the spinal cord send signals to muscles and determine muscle tone. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
- The spinal cord has a built-in default inhibitory mechanism that restrains anterior horn cell activity to prevent muscles from going into spasm. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
- The cortex regulates muscle tone through inhibition of inhibition: by suppressing the spinal inhibitory system, the cortex allows appropriate muscle activation. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
- Muscle tone determines reaction time: higher, well-regulated tone enables quick reactions, while low tone causes slow and delayed protective responses. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
- The cortex regulates not only voluntary movement but also the background muscle tone that keeps the body ready to respond. — Brain Inhibition, Posture, Stress, and Muscle Tone
