Eerder werk heeft het kenmerk Aplysia motor&#39;s in het intacte dier en in gereduceerde preparaten, zoals geïsoleerde ganglia. In het intacte dier, hoewel opnamen van individuele neuronen zijn verkregen 5, dergelijke experimenten zeer moeilijk en elektroden kan worden verplaatst van neuron tot neuron tijdens het voeden. In geïsoleerde ganglia, kan het voeden van bewegingen veroorzaakt door neurale activiteit niet in acht worden genomen. De geschorste buccale massa voorbereiding overbrugt de kloof ...

an in vitro preparation for eliciting and recording feeding motor programs with physiological movements in aplysia californica

Multifunctionaliteit, het vermogen van een perifere structuur meerdere, verschillende gedragingen 1 te genereren, kunnen dieren snel hun gedrag passen aan veranderende omstandigheden. De mariene weekdier Aplysia californica biedt een soepel systeem voor de studie van multifunctionaliteit. Tijdens het voeden, Aplysia genereert een aantal verschillende soorten van gedrag met behulp van dezelfde voedselopnameapparaat, de buccale massa. De ganglia die bepalen deze gedragingen bevatten een aantal grote, geïdentificeerde neuronen die toegankelijk zijn voor elektrofysiologische studie. De activiteit van deze neuronen is beschreven in motor&#39;s die kunnen worden onderverdeeld in twee types, ingestive en egestive&#39;s, gebaseerd op de timing van neurale activiteit die sluit het voedsel grijper ten opzichte van de neurale activiteit die protracts of trekt de grijper 2. Echter in geïsoleerde ganglia, de spierbewegingen die zou produceren deze gedrag afwezig, waardoor hetmoeilijker om zeker of de waargenomen motor programma&#39;s correlaten van real gedrag. In vivo, zenuwen en spieren opnamen verkregen overeenkomt met voeren programma 2,3,4, maar het is zeer moeilijk om direct van individuele neuronen 5. Bovendien, in vivo, kan ingestive programma verder worden onderverdeeld in beten en slikt 1,2, een onderscheid dat is moeilijk om in de meeste eerder beschreven in vitro preparaten. De geschorste buccale massa voorbereiding (figuur 1) overbrugt de kloof tussen geïsoleerde ganglia en intacte dieren. In dit preparaat, ingestive gedrag - zowel bijten en slikken - kan egestive en gedrag (afstoting) worden opgewekt, tegelijk als individuele neuronen kunnen worden opgenomen van en gestimuleerd met extracellulaire elektroden 6. De voeding bewegingen in verband met deze verschillende gedragingen kunnen worden recorded, gekwantificeerd en direct gerelateerd aan de motor programma. De motor programma&#39;s in de geschorste buccale massa voorbereiding lijken meer vergelijkbaar met die waargenomen in vivo dan zijn motorische programma&#39;s opgewekt in geïsoleerde ganglia. Aldus kan de motor programma in dit preparaat meer rechtstreeks verband houden met in vivo gedrag, tegelijkertijd, individuele neuronen toegankelijk zijn voor opname en stimulatie dan in intacte dieren. Bovendien, als een tussenstap tussen geïsoleerde ganglia en intacte dieren, bevindingen uit de geschorste buccale massa kan helpen bij de interpretatie van de gegevens die zijn verkregen in zowel de meer gereduceerde en meer intact instellingen. De geschorste buccale massa voorbereiding is een nuttig instrument voor het karakteriseren van de neurale aansturing van multifunctionaliteit in Aplysia.

When an extracellular electrode is positioned above a neuron's soma and used to stimulate the neuron, a one-for-one correspondence between spikes on the soma channel and on the nerve(s) the neuron projects to can be observed (Figure 6, left panel, stimulation of identified neuron B9). The soma channel (top channel) is set to stimulating mode when the current is applied (time 1 in the figure), and is then quickly switched to recording mode (time 2). By maintaining the position of the electrode, the...
