title: [Effects of death of a single neuron on the functional organization of the neuronal ensemble in the leech].
abstract: The reaction of leech nervous system after elimination of individual mechanosensory neuron by intracellular Pronase injection were studied. In the motor neurons connected with killed cells at 14-90th days after the operation there were the changes of the resting membrane potential and amplitude of postsynaptic potentials developed by the stimulation of mechanosensory neuron. It is suggested that the leech nervous system serves as the dynamic formation depending on changes of neuronal ensemble structure.
