AB  - Sensory processing in the local bending reflex of the leech (Hirudo medicinalis) was studied by examining the input-output relations of the reflex. Sensory cells (P cells) were stimulated singly and in pairs and the responses of the longitudinal muscle motor neurons were recorded. Each pattern of single and paired P cell stimulation produced a unique pattern of motor neuron response. In general, motor neuron response patterns were consistent with the behavioral response of the whole animal.
