Modulation of the soleus H‐reflex following galvanic vestibular stimulation and cutaneous stimulation in prone human subjects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
There is evidence to suggest that vestibular and somatosensory inputs may interact when they are processed by the central nervous system, although the nature of the individual sensory contributions to this interaction is unknown. We examined the effects of a combined vestibular and cutaneous conditioning stimulus on the motoneuron pool that supplies the soleus muscle via the Hoffman reflex (H-reflex). We applied galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS; bipolar, binaural, 500 ms, 2.5-mA square-wave pulse) and cutaneous stimulation (medial plantar nerve; 11 ms, three-pulse train, 200 HZ) to prone human subjects and examined changes in the amplitude of the H-reflex. GVS alone caused facilitation (approximately 20%) of the H-reflex, whereas ipsilateral cutaneous stimulation alone caused a 26% inhibition. Paired GVS and cutaneous stimulation resulted in a linear summation of the individual conditioning effects. H-reflex amplitudes observed after paired conditioning with GVS and cutaneous stimulation could be predicted from the amplitudes observed with individual conditioning. These results suggest that in the prone position, when the muscles are not posturally engaged, vestibular and somatosensory information appear to sum in a linear fashion to influence the reflex response of lower limb motoneurons.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
