Résumé :

A method was developed for direct electrical stimulation of the masseter nerve in man. Direct M responses and genuine H reflexes were recorded from the ipsilateral masseter muscle. Muscle vibration that inhibits the Achilles tendon reflex and the soleus H reflex was found to potentiate the masseter tendon reflex and the masseter H reflex. This unexpected contrast may be related to peculiar brain stem circuitry of the masseter reflex mechanism.
