Spinal circuits mediate a stretch reflex between the upper limbs in humans
Muraoka T, Kurtzer I
Neuroscience (2020)
https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2020.02.007

Muraoka and Kurtzer investigated inter-limb stretch reflexes in shoulder muscles. The authors provide the first evidence of a short-latency stretch reflex in non-perturbed contralateral muscles of the arm. Interestingly, this crossed short-latency reflex is of the opposite sign to the long-latency reflex. The authors go on to demonstrate independence between inter- and intra-limb stretch reflexes and suggest that inter-limb short-latency reflexes may contribute to balance control while standing upright. —CF
