Abstract
A new experimental setup has been devised to perform Aplysia optical recording, the firing of the siphon sensory neurons being precisely controlled. Significant crosscorrelations between the siphon sensory neurons and optically detected neurons were obtained by our information theory-based analysis, and we discussed possible roles of the detected neurons in the gill-withdrawal reflex.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
