Five types of nonspiking interneurons in local pattern-generating circuits of the crayfish swimmeret system.
We conducted a quantitative analysis of the different nonspiking interneurons in the local pattern-generating circuits of the crayfish swimmeret system. Within each local circuit, these interneurons control the firing of the power-stroke and return-stroke motor neurons that drive swimmeret movements. Fifty-four of these interneurons were identified during physiological experiments with sharp mi...
متن کاملCoordination of cellular pattern-generating circuits that control limb movements: the sources of stable differences in intersegmental phases.
Neuronal mechanisms in nervous systems that keep intersegmental phase lags the same at different frequencies are not well understood. We investigated biophysical mechanisms that permit local pattern-generating circuits in neighboring segments to maintain stable phase differences. We use a modified version of an existing model of the crayfish swimmeret system that is based on three known coordin...

Coordination of limb movements: three types of intersegmental interneurons in the swimmeret system and their responses to changes in excitation. During forward locomotion, the movements of swimmerets on different segments of the crayfish abdomen are coordinated so that more posterior swimmerets lead their anterior neighbors by approximately 25%. This coordination is accomplished by mechanisms w...
متن کاملCholinergic modulation of the swimmeret motor system in crayfish.
1. The muscarinic agonist pilocarpine induced the swimmeret motor pattern in resting isolated preparations of the crayfish abdominal nerve cord and modulated the burst frequency in a dose-dependent manner. 2. Nicotine did not elicit rhythmic activity in resting isolated preparations but increased the burst frequency in active preparations. Nicotine produced higher burst frequencies than pilocar...
متن کاملTests of the motor neuron model of the local pattern-generating circuits in the swimmeret system.
The motor pattern that drives each crayfish swimmeret consists of alternating bursts of impulses in power-stroke (PS) and return-stroke (RS) motor neurons. A model of the neural circuit that generates this pattern focused on connections between motor neurons themselves (Heitler, 1978, 1981). The model predicts that synergist motor neurons are electrically coupled, whereas antagonists make mostl...
