ESCAPE BEHAVIOR: INTEGRATIN AND PLASTICITY

这项研究的目的是促进我们对 负责学习和反应选择的神经元机制 复杂的综合行为系统 这些相关问题是 在一个相对简单的系统中进行研究， 剧目，其中包括一个小集合的逃避反应，所有这些 会习惯性地使用，可能也会习惯于其他形式的塑料 改性 具体的行为和电生理研究是 提出了（1）联想学习的细胞机制，（2） 神经元活动对突触形成和维持的影响，以及（3）神经元活动对突触形成和维持的影响。 负责产生逃逸行为和 将其与动物的整体行为相结合。

The purpose of this research is to contribute to our understanding of the neuronal machinery responsible for learning and response selection in complex, integrated behavioral repertoires. These related problems are to be studied in a relatively simple system, the crayfish escape response repertoire, which consists of a small set of escape responses all of which are subject to habituation and probably also to other forms of plastic modification. Specific behavioral and electrophysiological research is proposed on (1) cellular mechanisms of associative learning, (2) effects of neuron activity on synapse formation and maintenance, and (3) the neural circuitry that is responsible for generating escape behavior and for integrating it with the overall behavior of the animal.
