Abstract
The feeding cycle of Lymnaea is generated by a network of three types of interneurone, N1, N2 and N3. This network is driven by the slow oscillator (SO) interneurone described in the previous paper. Interaction between the different interneurones is dependent on both connectivity and endogenous properties, and utilizes such properties as post-inhibitory rebound and self-feedback within electrically-coupled populations. Each of the four components of the interneuronal network (SO, N1, N2 and N3) is responsible for a different phase of synaptic input to the follower cell population which was previously shown to directly control feeding movements.
