title: Synaptic input driving respiratory motoneurons in dragonfly larvae.
abstract: Intracellular recordings were made from respiratory motoneurons in dragonfly larvae. Current injection into a motoneuron did not affect other respiratory motoneuron activity. Long-lasting hyperpolarizing current injection revealed that both inspiratory and expiratory motoneurons receive excitatory and inhibitory synaptic input with a reverse phase.
