446 Reversal of the Reflec Effect of an Afferent Nerve. 
Fie. 8.—Isolated Vasto-crureus Muscle ; decerebrate preparation. The nerve was 
weakly faradised by the same current through the same electrodes in both 4 and B, 
and with only a few seconds’ interval between the two stimulations. The only 
change in the conditions was that in A the knee at outset of the observation starts 
almost fully extended, whereas in B it is almost fully flexed. The reflex result in 
both cases is a transitory initial reflex contraction followed by a very complete 
inhibitory relaxation. Time above in seconds ; signal below.
