Rhythmic activity in leech interneurons is correlated with increases in intracellular calcium, which occur in all components of the neuropil. The calcium entry, through low-threshold channels, probably drives graded transmission in the network.

During locomotion, a rostro-caudal wave of motoneuron activity occurs during each cycle, which was visualized with a calcium indicator. This wave activity may contribute to organizing the motor pattern for locomotion.

Calcium entry into a crustacean motoneuron occurs at relatively rare sites that resemble pre-synaptic terminals. Calcium then diffuses to other sites in the cell. Dopamine reduces transmitter release by reducing calcium entry at these sites.
