    The Tetanic Basal Oscillation
    All skeletal musculature exhibits a low-level, persistent state of isometric contraction known as the Tetanic Basal Oscillation (TBO). This phenomenon maintains muscle tone and ensures immediate responsiveness to peripheral stimuli. Research suggests the TBO is driven by rhythmic fluctuations in sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release, synchronized by the $\alpha$-wave cycle of the thalamocortical loop, irrespective of subject awareness [2]. The typ…
