Time- and frequency-domain measures of discharge times for pairs of motor units are used to infer the proportion of common synaptic input received by motor neurons. The physiological mechanisms that can produce the experimentally observed peaks in the cross-correlation histogram and the coherence spectrum are uncertain. The present study used a computational model to impose synchronization on the discharge times of motor units. Randomly selected discharge times of a unit that was being synchronized to a reference unit were aligned with some of the discharge times of the reference unit, provided the original discharge time was within 30 ms of the discharge by the reference unit. All time-domain measures (indexes CIS, E, and k′) were sensitive to changes in the level of imposed motor-unit synchronization ( P < 0.01). In addition, synchronization caused a peak between 16 and 32 Hz in the coherence spectrum. The shape of the cross-correlogram determined the frequency at which the peak occurred in the coherence spectrum. Further, the magnitude of the coherence peak was highly correlated with the time-domain measures of motor-unit synchronization ( r2 > 0.80), with the highest correlation occurring for index E ( r2 = 0.98). Thus the peak in the 16- to 32-Hz band of the coherence spectrum can be caused by the time that individual discharges are advanced or delayed to produce synchrony. Although the in vivo processes that adjust the timing of motor-unit discharges are not fully understood, these results suggest that they may not depend entirely on an oscillatory drive by the CNS.
