Extracting temporal relationships between weakly coupled peptidergic and motoneuronal signaling: Application to Drosophila ecdysis behavior
Fig 7
Simulation of fluorescence spikes.
(a) Model circuit structure, showing the 8 α CCAP neurons that release the peptidergic signal (black circles) and activate the antiphase oscillatory behavior of the left and right motoneurons. (b) Simulated fluorescence (top) and voltage (bottom) time series of left (“Sim L”) and right (“Sim R”) motoneurons. (c) Magnification of a small segment of (b). (d, e) Simulation of two different experiments. The gray grid marks probabilities of 0, 0.5 and 1. “MN L”, “MN R”, “Sim L” and “Sim R” indicate experimental left, experimental right, simulated left, and simulated right motoneurons, respectively. p(t) indicates the probability of oscillation.
