Abstract:
:Ipsilaterally projecting spinal excitatory interneurons (EINs) generate the hemisegmental rhythmic locomotor activity in lamprey, while the commissural interneurons ensure proper left-right alternation. 5-HT is a potent modulator of the locomotor rhythm and is endogenously released from the spinal cord during fictive locomotion. The effect of 5-HT was investigated for three segmental premotor interneuron types: EINs, commissural excitatory and commissural inhibitory interneurons. All three types of interneurons produced chemical postsynaptic potentials in motoneurons, but only those from EINs had an electrical component. The effect of 5-HT was studied on the slow afterhyperpolarization, involved in spike frequency regulation, and on the segmental synaptic transmission to motoneurons. 5-HT induced a reduction in the slow afterhyperpolarization and a depression of synaptic transmission in all three types of segmental interneurons. Thus 5-HT is a very potent modulator of membrane properties and synaptic transmission of last-order segmental premotor interneurons. Such modulation of locomotor network interneurons can partially account for the observed effects of 5-HT on the swimming pattern in lamprey.
