Characteristics of the modulator currents in the VD neuron
| Modulator | n | Ipeak(nA) | Vpeak (mV) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proctolin | 6 | −1.1 ± 0.4 | −20.3 ± 2.9 |
| CabTRP | 5 | −0.9 ± 0.5 | −21.2 ± 4.9 |
| TNRNFLRFamide | 8 | −0.8 ± 0.2 | −22.8 ± 5.4 |
| CCAP | NR (n = 4) | N/A | N/A |
| RPCH | NR (n = 5) | N/A | N/A |
| Pilocarpine | 5 | −1.2 ± 0.5 | −18.6 ± 3.5 |
| Averages for all VD neurons | 13 | −1.0 ± 0.5 | −20.3 ± 2.9 |
Ipeak is the mean peak current elicited, and Vpeak is the voltage at whichIpeak occurred. For the different modulators, there is not a statistically significant difference in Vpeak measurements from the VD neuron (p = 0.430, one-way ANOVA). There is, however, a statistically significant difference between the Vpeak measurements for the LP (Table1) and the VD neuron (p < 0.001, t test). Values are means ± SD. NR, No response; NA, not applicable.
