time (only 0.150.20 msec)? And, equally remarkable, how is its relative constancy achieved? This time measures the ability of the system
to resolve as separate events two closely occurring spikes, one in each
Mauthner axon.
To answer these important questions we must know something of
the spinal circuitry involved in the Mauthner cell reflex and in particular
the nature and the location of the excitatory and inhibitory effects of
Mauthner axon activation.
V. THE SPINAL CIRCUITRY
In the experiments to be described intracellular recordings were always
made from the Mauthner axon in each cord segment investigated, in order
