N2 - A neural network model for muscle force control was constructed. It contained single motor cortex output cell, actual number of α motoneurons, Renshaw cells and muscle unit. The relation between muscle force and firing rate of α motoneurons of the model was investigated. The relation depended on the absolute refractory time of α motoneurons, RIPSP by Renshaw cells and firing pattern of Renshaw cells. The model showed the force-firing rate relation which was almost similar to that observed in human skeletal muscle.
