Differential distribution of functional receptors for neuromodulators evoking short-term heterosynaptic plasticity in Aplysia sensory neurons.
Synaptic transmission and excitability in Aplysia sensory neurons (SNs) are bidirectionally modulated by 5-HT and FMRFamide. To explore the regional distribution of different functional receptors that modulate SN properties, we examined changes in synaptic efficacy and excitability with brief focal applications of the neuromodulators to different regions of SNs that have established connections...
متن کاملContribution of polysynaptic pathways in the mediation and plasticity of Aplysia gill and siphon withdrawal reflex: evidence for differential modulation.
The gill and siphon withdrawal (GSW) reflex of Aplysia is centrally mediated by a monosynaptic and a polysynaptic pathway between sensory and motor neurons. The first objective of this article was to evaluate quantitatively the relative importance of these two components in the mediation of the GSW reflex. We have used an artificial sea water (ASW) solution containing a high concentration of di...
متن کاملModulation of an inhibitory interneuron in the neural circuitry for the tail withdrawal reflex of Aplysia.
1. Serotonin (5-HT), small cardioactive peptide B (SCPB) and FMRFamide have well-established facilitatory and inhibitory effects on sensory neurons and their connections with motor neurons mediating withdrawal reflexes in Aplysia. Little is known, however, about their effects on interneurons contributing to those reflexes. As a first step, we examined the effects of these three transmitters on ...
متن کاملUnique Configurations of Compression and Truncation of Neuronal Activity Underlie l-DOPA–Induced Selection of Motor Patterns in Aplysia
A key issue in neuroscience is understanding the ways in which neuromodulators such as dopamine modify neuronal activity to mediate selection of distinct motor patterns. We addressed this issue by applying either low or high concentrations of l-DOPA (40 or 250 μM) and then monitoring activity of up to 130 neurons simultaneously in the feeding circuitry of Aplysia using a voltage-sensitive dye (...
