title: [Demonstration of several functions of motoneurons using microcomputers].
abstract: In order to display some electrophysiological properties of the motoneurons, a special program for a microcomputer has been designed. The images in the monitor resemble those of an oscilloscope screen. The microelectrode penetration in the cell membrane, magnitude of the resting potential, inhibition and facilitation phenomena and the time-course of a spike potential are shown. The sequences of program's sentences (detailed in the text) can be exhibited in the screen also. Related theoretical basis of neurophysiology and a discussion of the present work are included.
