Suppression of synaptic input of defense behavior command neurons by stimulation of neurons of the mesocerebrum in a preparation of the isolated CNS of the common snail. 1996

The intestinal nerve was stimulated in combination and uncombined with extracellular stimulation of the mesocerebral region of the brain, as well as with stimulation of serotoninergic neurons, in experiments on a preparation of the isolated CNS of the common snail, with preservation of the nerve connections with the sexual system. Responses were recorded in command neurons of defense behavior. The data were obtained indicating that, in the case of combinations with extracellular stimulation of the mesocerebrum, an analog of a conditioned reaction of diminution of EPSP in the command neurons of defense behavior was developed. When stimulation of the same nerve was reinforced by stimulation of the serotoninergic neurons, sensitization appears, both in the case of combined and uncombined presentation of the stimuli.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D013569 Synapses Specialized junctions at which a neuron communicates with a target cell. At classical synapses, a neuron's presynaptic terminal releases a chemical transmitter stored in synaptic vesicles which diffuses across a narrow synaptic cleft and activates receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of the target cell. The target may be a dendrite, cell body, or axon of another neuron, or a specialized region of a muscle or secretory cell. Neurons may also communicate via direct electrical coupling with ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES. Several other non-synaptic chemical or electric signal transmitting processes occur via extracellular mediated interactions. Synapse
