This text serves as a historical commentary on a landmark 1962 paper in muscle spindle physiology.
With someone who has been as prolific in their scientific output as Peter Matthews, it is often difficult to identify individual publications that stand out above the rest in stature.That, however, is not a problem with Peter's body of work.Keeping in mind that Peter published many influential observations in the field of muscle spindle physiology, the paper entitled, 'The differentiation of two types of fusimotor fibre by their effects on the dynamic response of muscle spindle primary endings' , published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences (volume 47, pp.324-333, 1962), stands out above the rest (Matthews, 1962).The work describes
