Abstract(in English) Infomation transmitted along the cricket wind receptor neuron, which detects medium air motion and encodes into a spike train, was measured. The rate of information transmission was calculated from a set of data of spike train recorded from a single receptor cell in response to a repeated Gaussian white noise stimulus. We revealed that a single spike carried information of 2-4 bits when stimulus intensity was several times over the threshold. Furthermore, the internal noise which limits the information capacity of the cell, paradoxically enhances the detection of weak signal.
