Abstract:
The excitability of somatic membrane of Helix lucorum neurons was studied by means of extracellular electric current of various direction (frequency 0.1 Hz). Inhomogenous excitability of somatic membrane was shown and the existence of the local low-threshold area of spike generation in the soma was demonstrated.
