Light enhances hydrodynamic signaling in the multimodal caudal photoreceptor interneurons of the crayfish.

Abstract:

:1. The caudal photoreceptor (CPR) interneurons in the sixth abdominal ganglion of the crayfish are complex, multi-modal interneurons. These cells respond directly to light with tonic spike discharges, and they integrate synaptic input from an array of fili-form mechanoreceptors on the tailfan. They also provide input to rostral command centers, inducing backward walking at high firing frequencies, and thus directly influence behavior. 2. We recorded CPR activity in response to weak hydrodynamic stimulation of the tailfan mechanoreceptors while under varying intensities of light shined on the sixth ganglion. Spike trains were characterized according to the mean discharge rate (MDR) and the power spectrum from which the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was calculated. 3. Illumination of the CPR enhances the efficiency of transmitting mechanosensory signals. It does so by increasing the SNR of mechanosensory input received from tailfan receptors. A sevenfold, nonlinear increase in the SNRs was observed with increasing light intensity, an effect especially pronounced for weak hydrodynamic stimuli. In comparison with the dark, illumination of the ganglion lowered the hydrodynamic threshold and heightened the response to suprathreshold stimulation. Unlike the SNR, the MDR is little affected by mechanosensory input. 4. These results are compared with simulated electronic activity from an analogue threshold model and are discussed with respect to the mechanism of stochastic resonance.
