R,
Didn't you recently say - or quote - something recently about l-dopa receptors at tendon/bone insertion sites? Please tell me what thread it's in.. It sparked my interest greatly - and now I can't find it! Thanks, Ibby |

It wasn't necessarily dopamine receptors. It was just a memory of reading somewhere that there were receptors of some sort at that junction that fired when stretched and I was asking if anyone else knew more. There is definitely something, for me, about stretching at certain times that is more than just, well, stretching. For example, if I resist the urge and remain passive the moment passes and muscle tone goes way down. -Rick PS- It was tendon to muscle as I remember.

This touches on what Anne and I concluded that banding was working on. Also, notice the very last sentence. "Movement and posture."
So far in our discussion of receptors we have dealt only with exteroceptors. Now we will deal briefly with three kinds of enteroceptors, all found in muscle. These are sometimes termed proprioceptors, because they sense what goes on in the body itself(1). Primary and secondary muscle spindle receptors and Golgi tendon organs all send information about the state of the muscle to the central nervous system. All muscles, with the exception of extraocular and facial musculature, contain all three types of receptors. The spindle receptors sense muscle length and the rate of change of muscle length, whereas the Golgi tendon organ senses muscle tension and the rate of change of muscle tension. We have already seen that receptors in the joints do not signal the angle of the joint. It is likely that muscle spindle receptor messages provide the information the central nervous system uses to compute the angle of joints. In addition, all types of receptors in muscle provide information used in systems that control movement and posture. From http://www.unmc.edu/physiology/Mann/mann11.html

This is a very interesting disorder that we share. I wish that we had never heard of it. I like the signature line. -Rick

Here is a proprioception - no , it's nocicoception and mechanicoception that he is talking about. He's a lone voice in the chiropractic wilderness crying for help. We need this guy in our court. I am trying to locate him. He used to be in my neck of the woods... will look back for a specific article to post - this is a good one too. He is now a consultant for Anbabolic Labs among other things. I hope this fits w/ your reaearch/thinking. later........ibby |
