Phylogenetic Plasticity of Crustacean Stomatogastric Circuits I. Pyloric Patterns and Pyloric Circuit of the Shrimp Palaemon Serratus By
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recordings from the muscles of the pyloric chamber of the shrimp Palaemon display a rhythmic pattern which is either monophasic or biphasic, and is different from the triphasic pyloric pattern of large decapods. Identification of the pyloric neurones in the stomatogastric ganglion and study of their synaptic relationships indicate that the pyloric circuit of Palaemon is very similar to the pyloric circuit of large decapods. It is concluded that homologous neuronal circuits in related species, although similar in terms of their 'wiring diagram', are able to produce significantly different patterned outputs.

Hormonal modulation of two coordinated rhythmic motor patterns.
Neuromodulation is well known to provide plasticity in pattern generating circuits, but few details are available concerning modulation of motor pattern coordination. We are using the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system to examine how co-expressed rhythms are modulated to regulate frequency and maintain coordination. The system produces two related motor patterns, the gastric mill rhythm t...
متن کاملActions of kinin peptides in the stomatogastric ganglion of the crab Cancer borealis.
To fully understand neuronal network operation, the influence of all inputs onto that network must be characterized. As in most systems, many neuronal and hormonal pathways influence the multifunctional motor circuits of the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG), but the actions of only some of them are known. Therefore, we characterized the influence of the kinin peptide family on the gastr...
متن کاملThe pyloric neural circuit of the herbivorous crab Pugettia producta shows limited sensitivity to several neuromodulators that elicit robust effects in more opportunistically feeding decapods.
Modulation of neural circuits in the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) allows flexibility in the movements of the foregut musculature. The extensive repertoire of such resulting motor patterns in dietary generalists is hypothesized to permit these animals to process varied foods. The foregut and STNS of Pugettia producta are similar to those of other decapods, but its diet is more...
متن کاملMatching neural and muscle oscillators: control by FMRFamide-like peptides.
Stomatogastric nervous systems of the shrimp, Palaemon serratus, were stained with antisera raised against the peptide FMRFamide. FMRFamide-like immunoreactivity was found in fibers in the input nerve to the stomatogastric ganglion (STG), in several STG somata, in dense neuropil in the STG, in the motor nerves that innervate the dilator muscles of the pyloric region, but not in the pyloric dila...
متن کاملLong-lasting activation of rhythmic neuronal activity by a novel mechanosensory system in the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system.
Sensory neurons enable neural circuits to generate behaviors appropriate for the current environmental situation. Here, we characterize the actions of a population (about 60) of bilaterally symmetric bipolar neurons identified within the inner wall of the cardiac gutter, a foregut structure in the crab Cancer borealis. These neurons, called the ventral cardiac neurons (VCNs), project their axon...
