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

这是对节奏运动模式可以改变的几个方面的研究，以及与功能相关的运动模式相互协调的方式。PI将在龙虾简单神经系统的单个神经细胞水平上研究这些问题。我们将探讨不同神经肽神经递质在心囊和胃神经元节律模式中的作用。这项研究将有助于更好地理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.
