Modulatory projection neurons gate neuronal networks, such as those comprising motor central pattern generators; in turn, they receive feedback from the networks they gate. A recent study has shown that, in the crab stomatogastric ganglion, this feedback is also subject to modulation: the enhanced feedback feeds forward through the projection neurons to modify circuit output.
调制投射神经元调节神经元网络,如运动中枢模式发生器组成的网络;反过来,它们又从其调节的网络接收反馈。最近的一项研究表明,在蟹的口胃神经节中,这种反馈也受到调制:增强的反馈通过投射神经元前馈,以修改电路输出。
