1. Muscle spindle afferent discharges exhibiting an approximately linear length-frequency relation could be recorded from the phrenic nerve in the isolated phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation of the rat. 2. Muscle spindle afferent discharges could be identified by their characteristic "spindle pause" during muscle contraction and by their response to succinylcholine. 3. Cholinergic influence on spontaneous and stretch-induced afferent discharges was indicated by the augmentation produced by physostigmine and acetylcholine. (+)-Tubocurarine, but not atropine, prevented this augmentation indicating the presence of curariform cholinoceptors in muscle spindles. 4. Acetylcholine did not appear to be involved in the genesis of spindle afferent discharges as incubation with hemicholinium-3 and (+)-tubocurarine failed to affect the rate of spontaneous and stretch-induced spindle discharges. 5. Oxotremorine markedly increased the rate of spontaneous and stretch-induced spindle afferent discharges and this effect was prevented in the presence of hemicholinium-3 and (+)-tubocurarine. 6. These results with oxotremorine are of interest in connection with the observation that muscle spindle afferents and hyperactive in Parkinsonian patients.
