The role of cutaneous receptors in the menton tap silent period

J. O. Bailey Jr, W. D. McCall, N. N. Mansour and M. M. Ash Jr

The neuromuscular mechanisms of the electromyographic silent period are poorly understood but clinically significant. Our purpose was to isolate the contribution of cutaneous afferents from the chin to the latency and the duration of the EMG silent period. Under the conditions of our experiment, the afferents of the mental nerve have no observable influence on the latency or the duration of the silent period educed by a menton tap.
