2. However, the location of these motoneurons differs in the rat, Mongolian gerbil and domestic pig.
3. Gamma motoneurons regulate how sensitive the stretch reflex is by tightening or relaxing the fibers within the spindle.
4. There are several theories as to what may trigger gamma motoneurons to increase the reflex's sensitivity.
