Voltage clamp-measured decrease in junctional resistance followed extrajunctional axotomy of a pair of electrotonically coupled snail neurons

Abstract The effect of extrajunctional axonal crush on the junctional resistance (Rj) of a pair of electrotonically coupled giant neurons VD1 and RPD2 in the snail Lymnaea was measured by using standard voltage clamp procedures. This produced a statistically significant reduction in Rj in the first ... View More
