The stomatogastric ganglion produces distinct and complex patterned output driving the mastication and filtration of food. It does so with a small number of neurons whose properties and interconnections have been extensively examined. The motor patterns are subject to modulation and integration by neurons of other ganglia. This paper reports a search for interneurons of the four interconnecting ganglia of this system, using cobalt chloride backfilling techniques. It was determined that only a small number of neurons may interconnect these ganglia: (1) In the stomatogastric ganglion there are two to three small neurons and six large neurons with neurites projecting anteriorly towards the other ganglia. (2) In the two commissural ganglia there are one to three small neurons whose neurites project to the primary input nerve of the stomatogastric ganglion. (3) In the oesophageal ganglion there are three small neurons whose location would allow them to play a co-ordinating role in the output of all four ganglia.
口胃神经节产生独特且复杂的模式化输出，驱动食物的咀嚼和过滤。它通过少数神经元来实现这一功能，这些神经元的特性和相互连接已得到广泛研究。运动模式受到其他神经节神经元的调节和整合。本文报告了利用氯化钴回填技术对该系统四个相互连接神经节中的中间神经元进行的搜索。已确定只有少数神经元可能连接这些神经节：（1）在口胃神经节中有两到三个小神经元和六个大神经元，其神经突向前朝着其他神经节延伸。（2）在两个连合神经节中有一到三个小神经元，其神经突投射到口胃神经节的主要输入神经。（3）在食管神经节中有三个小神经元，其位置使其能够在所有四个神经节的输出中发挥协调作用。
