Electronic neuron within a ganglion of a leech (Hirudo medicinalis)
We report the construction of an electronic device that models and replaces a neuron in a midbody ganglion of the leech Hirudo medicinalis. In order to test the behavior of our device, we used a well-characterized synaptic interaction between the mechanosensory, sensitive to pressure, (P) cell and t...

We report the construction of an electronic device that models and replaces a neuron in a midbody ganglion of the leech Hirudo medicinalis.

We alternatively stimulated a P neuron and our device connected to the AP neuron, and studied the response of the latter.
