Presynaptic control of modulatory fibers by their neural network targets

Numerous modulatory fibers control the output of the pyloric and gastric
mill neural networks in the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG). We
now describe the first results of intracellular recordings from the axon of
one of these input neurons, stomatogastric nerve axon 1 (SNAX 1), close to
where it enters the STG. SNAX 1 excites both the pyloric and gastric mill
rhythms and is identified on the basis of its synaptic interactions with
identified STG neurons. SNAX 1 receives synaptic input from several sources
within the STG. As a result of these synaptic inputs, SNAX 1 fires bursts
of action potentials that are time-locked to both the pyloric and gastric
mill rhythms. The synaptic connections made onto the SNAX axon terminals
are likely to play important roles in shaping the impulse activity patterns
in these modulatory inputs. Thus, the fibers that modulate the pattern-
generating networks in the STG are themselves influenced by elements in
these networks, and modulation is a dynamic interaction between input
fibers and STG neurons.
