Responses of NS neurons to the excitation of motoneurons in local and adjacent ganglia. Recordings of the responses of NS neurons to the stimulation of different motoneurons, performed in isolated three-ganglia chains (typically from midbody ganglion M7 to M9 or M10 to M12). The notation on the left indicates the identity of the recorded neurons, where the numberbetween brackets designates the ganglion number.A, Representative responses of an NS neuron to the stimulation of a local AE motoneuron [NS(8)–AE(8)] and to an AE motoneuron located in the adjacent posterior ganglion [NS(8)–AE(9)]. The two AE motoneurons were given identical stimuli (+3 nA square current step), and their responses were highly similar. The top trace shows the activity of the posterior AE [AE(9)] motoneuron during the stimulation period. The inset shows the fragment of the recording indicated by the dotted rectangle in an expanded temporal scale. B, Representative recordings showing the response of an NS neuron to the stimulation of a cell 3 in the posterior ganglion. C, Representative recordings showing the response of an NS neuron to the stimulation of a cell 1 in the posterior ganglion.
