Abstract

Experimentally, it was shown that the action potential threshold in neurons of the trained snails increases in response to serotonin (5-HT) application, in contrast to intact snails. This result demonstrates a decrease of excitability of the premotor interneurons in response to extracellular 5-HT after the training.
