1. Normal activity in bilateral pairs of heart interneurons, from ganglia 3 or 4, in the medicinal leech (Hirudo medicinalis) is antiphasic due to their reciprocally inhibitory connections. However, Ca++-free Co ++containing salines lead to synchronous oscillations in these neurons. 2. Internal TEA

The ontogeny of behavior in an organism must reflect developmental events in the nervous system, and it thus provides a noninvasive measure of neuronal development. This approach may be particularly fruitful in the medicinal leech because the neuronal basis of several behaviors has been characterize
The interneuronal network that produces local bending in the leech is distributed, in the sense that most of the interneurons inFolved are activated in all forms of local bending, even those in which their outputs would produce inappropriate movements. Such networks have been found to control a numb
