Abstract
Mechanisms of interaction between central and receptor neurons of the crayfish (the principal inhibitory neuron — PIN — and the slow-adapting stretch receptor — SAR) when functioning under different conditions were investigated: during regular spontaneous activity of SAR, grouped discharges of PIN, and regular spontaneous activity of PIN. A close connection was found between the various parameters of the PIN and SAR responses. Adaptation of SAR to the action of adequate, regular repetitive stimulation takes place faster in the presence of stationary background activity of PIN. The appearance and disappearance of SAR spike activity are determined by the ratio between the firing rates of SAR and PIN: at the moment of changeover the neuron with the higher firing rate is predominant.
