Sensory neurons have mostly been studied in fixed animals, but how do they behave when the animal is free to move? A recent study shows that, during locomotor activity, besides there being a general enhancement in responsiveness, the tuning curves of neurons can also change, altering their optimal stimuli.
感觉神经元在很大程度上是在固定的动物身上进行研究的,但当动物可以自由移动时,它们的行为如何呢?最近的一项研究表明,在运动活动期间,除了响应性的普遍增强之外,神经元的调谐曲线也可以改变,从而改变它们的最佳刺激。
