Activity-dependent structural dynamics of insect sensory fibers.
This report analyses the role of neuronal activity in shaping the axonal arborizations of sensory neurons from individually identified filiform hairs on the prosternum of locusts (Locusta migratoria), and their connections with a pair of identified interneurons (A4I1). Afferents from lateral filiform hairs terminate in the ipsilateral neuropil and connect only with the ipsilateral interneuron i...
متن کاملActivity-dependent sensitivity of proprioceptive sensory neurons in the stick insect femoral chordotonal organ.
Mechanosensory neurons exhibit a wide range of dynamic changes in response, including rapid and slow adaptation. In addition to mechanical factors, electrical processes may also contribute to sensory adaptation. We have investigated adaptation of afferent neurons in the stick insect femoral chordotonal organ (fCO). The fCO contains sensory neurons that respond to position, velocity, and acceler...
متن کاملActivity-dependent structural plasticity.
Plasticity in the brain reaches far beyond a mere changing of synaptic strengths. Recent time-lapse imaging in the living brain reveals ongoing structural plasticity by forming or breaking of synapses, motile spines, and re-routing of axonal branches in the developing and adult brain. Some forms of structural plasticity do not follow Hebbian- or anti-Hebbian paradigms of plasticity but rather a...
متن کاملActivity-Dependent Axonal Plasticity in Sensory Systems
The rodent whisker-to-barrel cortex pathway is a classic model to study the effects of sensory experience and deprivation on neuronal circuit formation, not only during development but also in the adult. Decades of research have produced a vast body of evidence highlighting the fundamental role of neuronal activity (spontaneous and/or sensory-evoked) for circuit formation and function. In this ...
متن کاملTransformation of Context-dependent Sensory Dynamics into Motor Behavior
The intrinsic dynamics of sensory networks play an important role in the sensory-motor transformation. In this paper we use conductance based models and electrophysiological recordings to address the study of the dual role of a sensory network to organize two behavioral context-dependent motor programs in the mollusk Clione limacina. We show that: (i) a winner take-all dynamics in the gravimetr...
