Abstract:
:Although it is well documented that exposure to aversive stimuli induces modulation of neural circuits and subsequent behavioral changes, the means by which an aversive stimulus concomitantly alters behaviors of different natures (e.g., defensive and appetitive) remains unclear. Here, we addressed this issue by using the learning-induced concurrent modulation of defensive and appetitive behaviors that occurs when the mollusk Aplysia is exposed to aversive stimuli. In Aplysia, aversive stimuli concomitantly enhance withdrawal reflexes (i.e., sensitization) and suppress feeding. Sensitization and feeding suppression, which are expressed in the short term and long term, depending on the training protocol, are accompanied by increased excitability of the tail sensory neurons (TSNs) controlling the withdrawal reflexes, and by decreased excitability of feeding decision-making neuron B51, respectively. Serotonin (5-HT) has been shown to mediate sensitization, but not feeding suppression. In this study, we examined which other neurotransmitter might be responsible for feeding suppression and its underlying cellular changes. Our results indicate that nitric oxide (NO) contributes to both short-term and long-term feeding suppression, as well as to the underlying decreased B51 excitability. NO was also necessary for the induction of long-term sensitization and for the expression of short-term increased TSN excitability in vitro, revealing a previously undocumented interaction between 5-HT and NO signaling cascades in sensitization. Overall, these results revealed a scenario in which multiple modulators contribute to the widespread changes induced by sensitizing stimuli in Aplysia.
