Unconditioned Response to Electric Shock: Mechanism in Planarians

Jay Boyd Best 1 and Errol Elshtain 1

Some implications of a mathematical theory relating neuronal geometry to the parameters of excitation in unconditioned response of planarians to electric shock are experimentally verified. The regions and patterns of primary neural excitation depend on the relation between the distribution of neural sizes and the wave form of the electric stimulus.
