Reciprocal inhibition: a mechanism underlying oscillatory animal movements.
نویسنده
چکیده
Reciprocal inhibition between neuron pairs is a long-standing model for the mechanism by which circuits generate rhythmic animal movement patterns. This review shows that this model mechanism can explain the origins of cyclic movements in six different preparations for which the neuronal circuits are available. The overall function of reciprocal inhibition, when combined with a variety of dynamic properties in each of the circuits, is to generate stable antiphasic or multiphasic output patterns. Apparent redundancy in the identified circuits may lend additional robustness to the oscillations, but it also increases the difficulty of identifying critical circuit elements.

A decentralized control scheme for orchestrating versatile arm movements in ophiuroid omnidirectional locomotion.
Autonomous decentralized control is a key concept for understanding the mechanism underlying the adaptive and versatile behaviour of animals. Although the design methodology of decentralized control based on a dynamical system approach that can impart adaptability by using coupled oscillators has been proposed in previous studies, it cannot reproduce the versatility of animal behaviours compreh...
متن کاملElectrical coupling can prevent expression of adult-like properties in an embryonic neural circuit.
Electrical coupling is widespread in developing nervous systems and plays a major role in circuit formation and patterning of activity. In most reported cases, such coupling between rhythmogenic neurons tends to synchronize and enhance their oscillatory behavior, thereby producing monophasic rhythmic output. However, in many adult networks, such as those responsible for rhythmic motor behavior,...

The reciprocal regulation of noncapacitative and capacitative (or store-operated) Ca2+ entry in nonexcitable cells (Mignen, O., Thompson, J. L., and Shuttleworth, T. J. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 35676-35683) represents a switching between two distinct Ca2+-selective channels: the noncapacitative arachidonate-regulated Ca2+ channels (ARC channels) and the store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOC chann...
متن کاملApplication of zebrafish oculomotor behavior to model human disorders.
To ensure high acuity vision, eye movements have to be controlled with astonishing precision by the oculomotor system. Many human diseases can lead to abnormal eye movements, typically of the involuntary oscillatory eye movements type called nystagmus. Such nystagmus can be congenital (infantile) or acquired later in life. Although the resulting eye movements are well characterized, there is on...
متن کاملAbnormal reciprocal inhibition between antagonist muscles in Parkinson's disease.
Disynaptic Ia reciprocal inhibition acts, at the spinal level, by actively inhibiting antagonist motor neurons and reducing the inhibition of agonist motor neurons. The deactivation of this pathway in Parkinson's disease is still debated. Disynaptic reciprocal inhibition of H reflexes in the forearm flexor muscles was examined in 15 control subjects and 16 treated parkinsonian patients at rest ...
