✦ Synopsis
glioii aiid dorsal root, another pliase of iiiteractioll between iier~7c iiiipulscs in neiglibouring fibres can be clearly cleinonstrated. When the interval between tlie two stimuli is less t I i a i i 0.4 iiisec tile irnpulscs show piwloniiiit-iiitly syncliroiiization. IYitli longer intervals there appears to hc also a n effect of desynclironizatioii. These effects should be detectable all aloiig tlie nerve, but are more evident a t tlie points of bifurcation. Tlie negative results reported by voii Bruckc and Early ('41) were due to the fact that they recorded tlic potentials from one point alone and compared oiily tlie actual composite potential with the calculated sum of tlie two single volleys. IVitli each volley consisting already of a great number of iiiipulses, which also interact between tlieniselres, sncli kind of comparison is no longer sensitive enougli.
