Descending motor command to prime mover of dependent finger induces tactile gating in target and distant non-target finger.
This study examined whether tactile gating induced by the descending motor command to one finger spreads out to the other fingers to which the command is not delivered and whether this gating is dependent on the target finger to which the command is delivered. The change in perceptual threshold to the digital nerve stimulation of one finger induced by tonic contraction of the first dorsal interosseous or abductor digiti minimi muscle was examined. The perceptual threshold to the digital nerve stimulation of the thumb or little finger was increased by tonic contraction of the abductor digiti minimi muscle. This finding indicates that the descending motor command to the prime mover of the little finger abduction induces tactile gating not only in the finger to which the command is delivered but also in the other finger to which the command is not delivered. Tonic contraction of the first dorsal interosseous muscle did not change the perceptual threshold to the digital nerve stimulation in any finger. This finding means that tactile gating occurs particularly when the descending motor command is delivered to the dependent finger. Spreading out of tactile gating of one finger, to which the descending motor command is not delivered, is likely mediated by surround inhibition.
