Regulation of the Segmental Swim Generating System by a Pair of Identified Interneurons in the Leech Head Ganglion


Peter D. Brodfuehrer, Hannah J. Parker, Andrew Burns and Melissa Berg

Summary and Conclusions

The aim of this study was to identify neurons that modulate activity of segmental swim gating interneurons. We found a pair of bilaterally symmetrical interneurons, cells SE1, whose activity level directly influences three groups of segmental neurons associated with generating swimming in the medicinal leech.
