一种可靠的方法来记录诱发突触事件在确定的神经元在C。秀丽隐杆线虫的发现将大大加速我们对其神经系统在分子、细胞和网络水平的理解。在这里,我们描述了一种方法,用于记录突触电流和电位从确定的神经元在几乎完整的蠕虫。解剖和暴露突触后神经元是由微制造的琼脂基板促进,并使用Rhodopsin-2刺激突触前神经元。我们使用的方法来分析多模态伤害感受器和命令神经元,启动一个随机的逃避行为之间的功能连接。我们发现逃逸概率反映了指令神经元中突触电流的时间过程。此外,突触输入随着刺激强度的增加而平稳地增加,这表明连接的整体输入-输出功能是分级的。我们提出了一个模型,在该模型中,逃逸行为在C。秀丽隐杆线虫对威胁的强度很敏感
A reliable method for recording evoked synaptic events in identified neurons in C. elegans would greatly accelerate our understanding of its nervous system at the molecular, cellular, and network levels. Here we describe a method for recording synaptic currents and potentials from identified neurons in nearly intact worms. Dissection and exposure of postsynaptic neurons is facilitated by microfabricated agar substrates and ChannelRhodopsin-2 is used to stimulate presynaptic neurons. We used the method to analyze functional connectivity between a polymodal nociceptor and a command neuron that initiates a stochastic escape behavior. We find that escape probability mirrors the time course of synaptic current in the command neuron. Moreover, synaptic input increases smoothly as stimulus strength is increased, suggesting that the overall input-output function of the connection is graded. We propose a model in which the energetic cost of escape behaviors in C. elegans is tuned to the intensity of the threat.
