摘要
An excitatory synoptic potential in a local nonspiking interneuron of a locust is able to effect the release of chemical transmitter. The consequence is that a discrete inhibitory synoptic potential is evoked in an identified postsynaptic motoneuron. These local interactions between interneurons and motoneurons are of behavioral significance in that they ensure the correct operation of a resistance reflex. Copyright © 1979 AAAS.
