Modulators with Convergent Cellular Actions Elicit Distinct
Circuit Outputs

Six neuromodulators [proctolin, Cancer borealis
tachykinin-related peptide Ia, crustacean cardioactive peptide
(CCAP), red pigment-concentrating hormone, TNRNFLRFamide, and
pilocarpine] converge onto the same voltage-dependent inward current
in stomatogastric ganglion (STG) neurons of the crab C.
borealis. We show here that each of these modulators acts on a
distinct subset of pyloric network neurons in the STG. To ask whether
the differences in cell targets could account for their differential
effects on the pyloric rhythm, we systematically compared the motor
patterns produced by proctolin and CCAP. The motor patterns produced in proctolin and CCAP differed quantitatively in a number of ways. Proctolin and CCAP both act on the lateral pyloric neuron and the
inferior cardiac neuron. Proctolin additionally acts on the pyloric
dilator (PD) neurons, the pyloric (PY) neurons, and the ventricular
dilator neuron. Using the dynamic clamp, we introduced an artificial
peptide-elicited current into the PD and PY neurons, in the presence of
CCAP, and converted the CCAP rhythm into a rhythm that was
statistically similar to that seen in proctolin. This suggests that the
differences in the network effects of these two modulators can
primarily be attributed to the known differential distributions of
their receptors onto distinct subsets of neurons, despite the fact that
they activate the same current.
