abstract：:Facilitation of synaptic connections between sensory neurons and motor neurons mediating the tail-withdrawal reflex in Aplysia is produced by sensitizing stimuli. These effects can be mimicked by perfusing the pleural and pedal ganglia of a semi-intact preparation with serotonin (5-HT). In addition to the synaptic fac...
