Central pattern generator

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Different microcircuit responses to comparable input from one versus both copies of an identified projection neuron
    Gabriel F. Colton, Aaron P. Cook, Michael P. Nusbaum
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2020 223: jeb228114 doi: 10.1242/jeb.228114 Published 26 October 2020

    Summary: Co-stimulating both copies of an identified modulatory projection neuron at the same combined firing rate used for single copy stimulation results in different microcircuit output.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Respiratory gas levels interact to control ventilatory motor patterns in isolated locust ganglia
    Stav Talal, Amir Ayali, Eran Gefen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb195388 doi: 10.1242/jeb.195388 Published 26 April 2019

    Summary: Tight control over respiratory gas supply to the isolated locust CNS reveals interactions of oxygen and carbon dioxide effects on central ventilatory output.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    In vivo effects of temperature on the heart and pyloric rhythms in the crab Cancer borealis
    Dahlia Kushinsky, Ekaterina O. Morozova, Eve Marder
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb199190 doi: 10.1242/jeb.199190 Published 1 March 2019

    Summary: Temperature elevation increases the frequency of the heart and pyloric rhythms of the crab Cancer borealis, but the heart rhythm has a higher critical temperature than the pyloric rhythm.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The stomatogastric nervous system of the medicinal leech: its anatomy, physiology and associated aminergic neurons
    Karen A. Mesce, Magda Alania, Quentin Gaudry, Joshua G. Puhl
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb175687 doi: 10.1242/jeb.175687 Published 29 March 2018

    Summary: Blood feeding is a signature activity of the medicinal leech. The presence and characteristics of the stomatogastric nervous system, vital for feeding, are reported here for the first time.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Intricate but tight coupling of spiracular activity and abdominal ventilation during locust discontinuous gas exchange cycles
    Stav Talal, Eran Gefen, Amir Ayali
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb174722 doi: 10.1242/jeb.174722 Published 15 March 2018

    Editors' Choice: Direct monitoring of ventilation/spiracle muscle activity, simultaneously with respirometry, reveals two different ventilation motor patterns that could explain the mechanistic basis of discontinuous gas exchange cycles in locusts.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Muscles innervated by a single motor neuron exhibit divergent synaptic properties on multiple time scales
    Dawn M. Blitz, Amy E. Pritchard, John K. Latimer, Andrew T. Wakefield
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 1233-1244; doi: 10.1242/jeb.148908

    Summary: Distinct properties of synapses between the same motor neuron and multiple target muscles result in divergent responses to bursting activity across a physiological activity range.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Evolution of vocal patterns: tuning hindbrain circuits during species divergence
    Charlotte L. Barkan, Erik Zornik, Darcy B. Kelley
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 856-867; doi: 10.1242/jeb.146845

    Summary: Courtship song dynamics arise from finely tuned motor circuits. Alterations in the activity of a key nucleus of the hindbrain vocal circuit accompany call pattern divergence during speciation in African clawed frogs.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Developmental changes in head movement kinematics during swimming in Xenopus laevis tadpoles
    Sara Hänzi, Hans Straka
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 227-236; doi: 10.1242/jeb.146449

    Summary: Xenopus laevis tadpoles decrease their swimming frequency during development without changing head movement amplitude, with consequences for vestibular self-stimulation.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Adaptive plasticity of spino-extraocular motor coupling during locomotion in metamorphosing Xenopus laevis
    Géraldine von Uckermann, François M. Lambert, Denis Combes, Hans Straka, John Simmers
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2016 219: 1110-1121; doi: 10.1242/jeb.136168

    Highlighted Article: Adaptive neural plasticity of spinal locomotor-extraocular motor circuit coupling enables Xenopus frogs to continuously generate effective retinal image-stabilizing eye movements throughout the metamorphic transition from fish-like tadpole to quadrupedal adult.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Sources and range of long-term variability of rhythmic motor patterns in vivo
    Alexandra M. Yarger, Wolfgang Stein
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 3950-3961; doi: 10.1242/jeb.126581

    Summary: Light-driven activity patterns exist in vivo for pyloric and gastric mill rhythms, but are overshadowed by substantial variability and occluded by sensory influences, which alter motor pattern structure.
