SummaryIntracellular recordings were made from the soma of the metathoracic common inhibitory neuron of the locustsSchistocerca andChortoicetes. The soma is passively invaded by a spike of 2–5 mV in amplitude. The response of the common inhibitor to a variety of different inputs was studied. Tests for coupling between the common inhibitory and excitatory motoneurons to the same or antagonistic muscles were made by simultaneous recordings from pairs of neuron somata. No low resistance or synaptically mediated coupling was found. The somata of the two common inhibitory neurons which supply muscles on opposite sides of the body lie together on the ventral surface of the ganglion on the mid-line (Fig. 6). They are not coupled in any way. Cobalt chloride injected into the common inhibitor has shown it to have an extensive and complex dendritic tree confined to the ipsilateral half of the ganglion (Fig. 8). A single branch extends into the mesothoracic ganglion. There are differences in the branching patterns of the dendrites in different animals (Fig. 10).
