Abstract

A brief summary has been given of the results of experiments which have made it necessary to reconsider current views on autogenetic inhibition and have given a functional explanation of the role of autogenetic inhibition co-operating with the so-called subnormal phase in reflex self-regulation of the muscle contraction.
