A Computational Approach To Understanding the Neuronal Control of Leech Swimming
LEECH SWIM INITIATION PATHWAY
Cell TR1 SWIM VARIABILITY
SOURCE OF VARIABILITY
PURPOSE
- Quantify pattern of neuronal activity in the leech CNS that predicts swimming by Tr1 stimulation.
- Determine whether the nervous system have to be in a specific 'state' for swimming to be triggered.
- Determine whether the activity pattern in the leech CNS that predicts swimming is the same when swimming follows Tr1 stimulation or occurs spontaneously.
