Abstract
MANY neurones, particularly in sensory systems of both vertebrates and invertebrates, do not produce action potentials1–3. In motor pathways within the central nervous system of arthropods there are interneurones whose slow changes in membrane potential can affect the frequency of action potentials in motoneurones4–6. Some of these interneurones normally produce spikes6, but others apparently do not4,5. We have studied the properties of synaptic transmission between these non-spiking interneurones and motoneurones in the locust, Schistocera gregaria, in the course of investigating the integrative mechanisms underlying the generation of motor patterns7.
