Abstract:
:In the oscillatory circuits known as central pattern generators (CPGs), most synaptic connections are inhibitory. We have assessed the effects of inhibitory synaptic input on the dynamic behavior of a component neuron of the pyloric CPG in the lobster stomatogastric ganglion. Experimental perturbations were applied to the single, lateral pyloric neuron (LP), and the resulting voltage time series were analyzed using an entropy measure obtained from power spectra. When isolated from phasic inhibitory input, LP generates irregular spiking-bursting activity. Each burst begins in a relatively stereotyped manner but then evolves with exponentially increasing variability. Periodic, depolarizing current pulses are poor regulators of this activity, whereas hyperpolarizing pulses exert a strong, frequency-dependent regularizing action. Rhythmic inhibitory inputs from presynaptic pacemaker neurons also regularize the bursting. These inputs 1) reset LP to a similar state at each cycle, 2) extend and further stabilize the initial, quasi-stable phase of its bursts, and 3) at sufficiently high frequencies terminate ongoing bursts before they become unstable. The dynamic time frame for stabilization overlaps the normal frequency range of oscillations of the pyloric CPG. Thus, in this oscillatory circuit, the interaction of rhythmic inhibitory input with intrinsic burst properties affects not only the phasing, but also the dynamic stability of neural activity.
