RUI: Role of Peptides in Modulating the Output of a Small Neural System

这是一个研究的几个方面的方式， 有节奏的运动模式是可以改变的， 功能相关的运动模式与一个 另 PI将在以下层面研究这些问题： 单个神经细胞在简单的神经系统的 龙虾. 不同的神经肽类神经递质在 心囊和胃神经元的节律模式将是 考察 这项研究将有助于更好地了解 神经元控制复杂的综合运动。

This is a study of several aspects of the ways in which rhythmic movement patterns can be altered, and the ways in which functionally related movement patterns are coordinated with one another. The PI will study these problems at the level of individual nerve cells in the simple nervous system of the lobster. The role of different neuropeptide neurotransmitters in the rhythmic patterns of cardiac sac and gastric neurons will be examined. This research will lead to a better understanding of neurons control complicated integrated movements.
