Figure 1.

A schematic of the experimental preparation is shown. Stimulating suction electrodes were placed on peripheral nerves as described in Materials and Methods and Results for each experiment (N2 shown). Intracellular recording electrodes in the LG were placed in the initial segment (IS), major dendrite (MD), or in the dendrites near afferent contact points (asterisk). Intracellular recordings from afferents were made near the base of the nerve root where it enters the ganglion (arrows) or near the afferent-LG contacts in the neuropile (asterisk).
