Conclusions In experiments on leeches it was found that potentials of single neurons can be recorded from the neural ganglion in situ. The spike discharges of most single neurons in these conditions do not possess extreme properties: neither strict orderliness, especially rhythmicity of their activity, nor absolute randomness of the Poisson type. The discharge pattern is distinguished by variability and, at the same time, by some degree of ill defined orderliness, i.e., positive correlation. Consequently, the dynamic connections between neurons, even in primitive nerve structures, are complex. The factors determining the slight degree of orderliness (cyclic character) of impulse activity of neurons in these conditions are still unknown.
