Identified neurons and leech swimming behavior.
Since the experiments of Nicholls and Baylor, the initial characterization of identified neurons has provided significant insight into the circuitry transforming mechanosensory input into the motor output of swimming. From physiological characterization of only a small percentage of cells within the leech CNS, we have gained important information about how the decision to swim is processed and ...
متن کاملFrom: IDENTIFIED NEURONS AND BEHAVIOR OF ARTHROPODS
Crustacean neuromuscular junctions have provided some very favorable preparations for the study of synaptic plasticity. The crayfish, in particular, has junctions at which facilitation and depression, both rapid and long-lasting varieties, can be studied in great detail. Since the ability of synapses to adjust their strength of transmission as a consequence of previous activity plays a major ro...
متن کاملFinding a Mate With Eusocial Skills
Sexual reproductive behavior has a necessary social coordination component as willing and capable partners must both be in the right place at the right time. It has recently been demonstrated that many social organizations that support sexual reproduction can evolve in the absence of social coordination between agents (e.g. herding, assortative mating, and natal philopatry). In this paper we ex...
متن کاملAdaptive Behavior Control with Self-regulating Neurons
It is claimed that synaptic plasticity of neural controllers for autonomous robots can enhance the behavioral properties of these systems. Based on homeostatic properties of so called self-regulating neurons, the presented mechanism will vary the synaptic strength during the robot interaction with the environment, due to driving sensor inputs and motor outputs. This is exemplarily shown for an ...
متن کاملMorphology of physiologically identified neurons
Individual neurons can be classified in terms o f their physiological properties or in terms o f their structure and interconnections with other neurons. When both types o f in formation are available for a defined neuronal population, relationships can be inferred between the structure and function o f single neurons. This, in turn, leads to inferences about functional connectivity among neuro...
