Abstract：
:Consummatory feeding behaviors in Aplysia californica are controlled by a polymorphic central pattern generator (CPG) circuit. Previous investigations have demonstrated colocalization of markers for GABA and catecholamines within two interneurons, B20 and B65, that participate in configuring the functional output of this CPG. This study examined the contributions of GABA and dopamine (DA) to rapid synaptic signaling from B20 and B65 to follower cells that implement their specification of motor programs. Pharmacological tests did not substantiate the participation of GABA in the mediation of the excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) from either B20 or B65. However, GABA and the GABA(B) receptor agonist baclofen were found to modify these signals in a target-specific manner. Several observations indicated that DA acts as the neurotransmitter mediating fast EPSPs from B20 to two radula closer motor neurons B8 and B16. In both motor neurons, application of DA produced depolarizing responses associated with decreased input resistance and increased excitation. B20-evoked EPSPs in both follower cells were occluded by exogenous dopamine and blocked by the DA antagonist sulpiride. While dopamine occlusion and sulpiride block of convergent signaling to B8 from B65 resembled that of B20, both of these actions were less potent on the rapid signaling from B65 to the multifunctional and widely acting interneuron B4/5. These findings indicate that dopamine mediates divergent (B20 to B16 and B8) and convergent (B20 and B65 to B8) rapid EPSPs from two influential CPG interneurons in which it is colocalized with GABA-like immunoreactivity.
