The rates of functional, energetic and plastic processes running in a single nerve cell from the isolated crayfish mechanoreceptor were studied using original methods of intravital quantitative microscopy. Transitional processes of functional regime change in the nerve cell are followed by energy-dependent alteration of soma and axon hillock diameter. Synchronization between excitation rates and those of cell energetics growth increases the biosynthesis and protein content in cell.
