Summary: Let \(t_p(G)\) denote the number of paths in a graph \(G\) and let \(f:E\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+\) be an edge labeling of \(G\). The weight of a path \(P\) is the sum of the labels assigned to the edges of \(P\). If the set of weights of the paths in \(G\) is \(\{1,2,3,\dots,t_p(G)\} \), then \(f\) is called a Leech labeling of \(G\) and a ...

Interneurons in the reflex respond to most input patterns and contribute to most motor patterns, suggesting a distributed processing mechanism for the
