Changes in Membrane and Threshold Potentials of Command Neurons in Terrestrial Snail during Development of a Conditioned Situational Defensive Reflex

  • PHYSIOLOGY
  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Changes of the electrical characteristics of command neurons of defensive behavior caused by the development of a conditioned situational defensive reflex were studied experimentally under in vitro conditions on preparations of the nervous system of snails. After learning, the membrane and threshold potentials of command neurons LPa3 and RPa3 significantly decreased and excitability of the studied neurons increased.
