RESUMO

1. The development of post-tetanic potentiation (p.t.p.) was studied at three identified synapses in the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia californica. They are (1) the excitatory synapse made onto R15 by an axon in the right connective (RC1—R15), (2) the inhibitory synapse made by L10 onto one of its follower cells in the rostral quadrant of the left abdominal ganglion (L10—LUQC), and (3) the excitatory synapse made by L10 onto RB cells (L10—RB). Animals examined ranged from stage 11 juveniles weighing 2 mg to stage 13 adults weighing 300 g.
