Serotonin modulates afferent synaptic transmission to the lateral
giant neurons of crayfish, which are command neurons for escape
behavior. Low concentrations, or high concentrations reached gradually,
are facilitatory, whereas high concentrations reached rapidly are
inhibitory. The modulatory effects rapidly reverse after brief periods
of application, whereas longer periods of application are followed by
facilitation that persists for hours. These effects of serotonin can be
reproduced by models that involve multiple interacting intracellular
signaling systems that are each stimulated by serotonin. The dependence
of the neuromodulatory effect on dose, rate, and duration of modulator
application may be relevant to understanding the effects of natural
neuromodulation on behavior and cognition and to the design of drug therapies.
Key words:
