Higher Network Activity Induced by Tactile Compared to Electrical Stimulation of Leech Mechanoreceptors

The tiny ensemble of neurons in the leech ganglion can discriminate the locations of touch stimuli on the skin as precisely as a human fingertip. The leech uses this ability to locally bend the body-wall away from the stimulus. It is assumed that a three-layered feedforward network of pressure mecha...
