title: [Interneuronal contacts and propagation mechanism in paired receptors of the propo-dactylopodite organ of the crayfish Astacus leptodactylis].
abstract: In recordings of biopotentials from the propo-dactylopodite-organ (the PD-organ) nerve, repetitive pairs of impulses are frequently observed, which presumably reflect paired structure of receptor elements where two sensory neurons are morphologically linked by non-polarized interdendritic ephapse. It is suggested that propagation via the ephapse out to be bilateral and that each of the postephaptic fibers transmits impulses from both of the cilia of the paired receptor. However, identical impulses from different cilia reach the central nervous system at different time, this mechanisms being presumably employed for differentiation of information on each of the cilia. One of the postephaptic fibers passes, seemingly, to the right, whereas the other one - to the left half of the first thoracic ganglion.
