His study tested 2 conditions: in the first, the patient knew in advance which foot was to be shocked in the other condition, the patient did not know. The button had to be pressed by the left or right hand matching the left or right foot that was shocked.
Donders used that device to measure the time it took from when a shock occurred on a patient's foot until when that patient pressed a button. In 1840 Wheatstone invented a device, much like his early telegraph system invention, that recorded the velocity of artillery shells. This assumption was proved incorrect with the help of Charles Wheatstone, an English scientist and inventor. Prior to his studies scientists thought that human mental processes were too fast to be measured. Donders in 1865 began to think about human reaction time and if it was measurable. Like all science, the history of the reaction time discovery is peculiar. This is how you get better at sports over time. This is the work of many neurons as well as numerous systems and circuits in the brain, and what's more, and you can train and enhance your skill through practice. Feet begin to move, hands might travel in front of the face, and eyes may close shut, along with many more processes. The brain then needs to send many signals to various muscles. When a soccer player realizes the ball is blistering towards him, there is visual information that has to be processed and decisions regarding a correct course of action. Does the player catch, dodge, or bat away the ball? This choice is what makes a reaction. Are both not reflexes? While it may seem that a soccer player negotiating an oncoming ball is a simple fast reflex, it is actually a symphony of hundreds of thousands of neurons working together to produce a conscious decision. You may be asking how a knee reflex arc and a soccer player dealing with an oncoming ball are different. Both signals work together and all of this happens in the spinal cord without going to the brain. This signal tells your hamstring to relax so there is no negative force acting on the quadriceps muscle when it contracts. The second signal from the sensory neuron travels to an interneuron which sends a signal to the motor neuron (efferent) leading to the hamstring. When your quad muscle's motor neuron receives the information it fires and causes your lower leg to spring forward up in the air. The first is the motor neuron (efferent) leading back to the quadriceps.
This picture shows how the sensory (afferent) neuron sends information through the dorsal root ganglion into the spinal cord where the signal splits into two different paths. The knee reflex arc is a spinal reflex, and the circuit is drawn above. The effectors are usually muscle fibers as in the patellar reflex or a gland such as the salivary gland. The efferent portion or motor neuron takes the information from the interneuron and sends it to the effectors which activate a response.They are located in the central nervous system (your spinal cord). These neurons act as sensory processing centers that determine the magnitude of the response to the incoming stimulus. These neurons take in information and translate it to an electrical signal that gets sent to the central nervous system, much like the spikes you hear when doing the cockroach leg experiments. A sensory component or afferent neuron.It is a negative feedback circuit that is comprised of three main components: This reflex is also known as a "reflex arc". Thankfully, we now refer to it as the patellar reflex. In their original papers Erb referred to the reflex as the "Patellarsehnenreflex" while Westphal denoted it as the "Unterschenkelphanomen". It was first independently described in 1875 by two German neurologists, Wilhelm Heinrich Erb and Carl Friedrich Otto Westphal. This reflex is called a stretch reflex and is initiated by tapping the tendon below the patella, or kneecap.
