Multiple mechanisms for integrating proprioceptive inputs that converge on the same motor pattern-generating network.

چکیده
Movement-derived sensory feedback adapts centrally generated motor programs to changing behavioral demands. Motor circuit output may also be shaped by distinct proprioceptive systems with different central actions, although little is known about the integrative processes by which such convergent sensorimotor regulation occurs. Here, we explore the combined actions of two previously identified proprioceptors on the gastric mill motor network in the lobster stomatogastric nervous system. Both mechanoreceptors [anterior gastric receptor (AGR) and posterior stomach receptor (PSR)] access the gastric circuit via the same pair of identified projection interneurons that either excite [commissural gastric (CG)] or inhibit [gastric inhibitor (GI)] different subsets of gastric network neurons. Mechanosensory information from the two receptors is integrated upstream to the gastric circuit at two levels: (1) postsynaptically, where both receptors excite the GI neuron while exerting opposing effects on the CG neuron, and (2) presynaptically, where PSR reduces AGR's excitation of the CG projection neuron. Concomitantly PSR selectively enhances AGR's activation of the GI neuron, possibly also via a presynaptic action. PSR's influences also far outlast its transient synaptic effects, indicating the additional involvement of modulatory processes. Consequently, PSR activation causes parallel input from AGR to be conveyed preferentially via the GI interneuron, resulting in a prolonged switch in the pattern of gastric circuit output. Therefore, via a combination of short- and long-lasting, presynaptic and postsynaptic actions, one proprioceptive system is able to promote its impact on a target motor network by biasing the access of a different sensory system to the same circuit.

Crustacean motor pattern-generating networks have played central roles in understanding the cellular and network bases of rhythmic motor patterns for over half a century. We review here the four best investigated of these systems: the stomatogastric, ventilatory, cardiac, and swimmeret systems. Generally applicable observations arising from this work include (1) neurons with active, endogenous ...

My thesis aimed to elucidate several aspects of motor circuit regulation and its impact on movement. It is well established that a single motor network can produce different output patterns in response to different inputs. However, in most model systems it remains challenging to identify the neurons comprising these networks and determine their role(s) in network operation, including whether ea...

A sigmoid function is necessary for creation a chaotic neural network (CNN). In this paper, a new function for CNN is proposed that it can increase the speed of convergence. In the proposed method, we use a novel signal for controlling chaos. Both the theory analysis and computer simulation results show that the performance of CNN can be improved remarkably by using our method. By means of this...
