Identification of the neuronal types that form specialized circuits controlling distinct behaviors has benefited greatly from simplicity offered by zebrafish. Electrophysiological studies have shown in addition to connectivity, understanding circuitry requires identification functional specializations among individual circuit components, such as those regulate levels transmitter release and excitability. In this study, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) identify molecular bases for distinctions between motoneuron are causal their differential roles swimming. The primary motoneuron, particular, expresses high a unique combination voltage-dependent ion channel synaptic proteins termed ‘cassettes.’ promoting high-frequency firing action potentials augmented at neuromuscular junction, both contributing greater power generation. Our transcriptional profiling spinal neurons further assigns expression cassette specific interneuron also involved central high-speed swimming escape behaviors. analysis highlights utility scRNAseq characterization circuitry, providing gene resource studying cell type diversity.

Understanding human behavior and action recognition are both essential components of effective surveillance video analysis for the purpose guaranteeing public safety. However, existing approaches such as three-dimensional convolutional neural networks (3D CNN) two-stream (2SNN) have computational hurdles due to significant parameterization they require. In this paper, we offer HARNet, a specialized lightweight residual 3D CNN that is built on directed acyclic graphs was created expressly handle these issues achieve detection. The suggested method presents an innovative pipeline creating spatial motion data from raw inputs, which makes successful latent representation learning motions easier accomplish. This generated input then supplied into processes information in single stream manner, maximizing benefits types cues. use traditional machine classifiers done order further improve discriminative capacity features been learned.

The flexibility of locomotor movements requires an accurate control their start, duration, and speed. How brainstem circuits encode convey these parameters remains unclear. Here, we have combined in vivo calcium imaging, electrophysiology, anatomy, behavior adult zebrafish to address questions. We reveal that the detailed are encoded by two molecularly, topographically, functionally segregated glutamatergic neuron subpopulations within nucleus medial longitudinal fasciculus. changes locomotion speed vGlut2+ neurons, whereas vGlut1+ neurons sudden high speed/high amplitude movements. Ablation compromised slow-explorative swimming, ablation impaired fast swimming. Our results provide mechanistic insights into how separate implement flexible commands. These command suitably organized integrate environmental cues hence generate swimming match animal's behavioral needs.

Abstract When does modular control of locomotion emerge during human development? One view is that modularity not innate, being learnt over several months experience. Alternatively, the basic motor modules are present at birth, but subsequently reconfigured due to changing brain-body-environment interactions. problem in identifying structures stepping infants presence noise. Here, using both simulated and experimental muscle activity data from neonates, infants, preschoolers, adults, we dissect influence noise, identify all individuals, including neonates. Complexity increases neonatal stage adulthood multiple levels infrastructure, intrinsic rhythmicity measured level individual muscles activities, synergies bilateral intermuscular network connectivity. Low complexity high variability neuromuscular signals attest immaturity, they also involve potential benefits for learning locomotor tasks.

Abstract The adult zebrafish spinal cord displays an impressive innate ability to regenerate after traumatic insults, yet the underlying adaptive cellular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that while and tissue responses injury are largely conserved among vertebrates, large-size fast motoneurons remarkably resilient by remaining viable functional. We also reveal dynamic changes in motoneuron glutamatergic input, excitability, calcium signaling, underscore critical role of calretinin (CR) binding buffering intracellular injury. Importantly, demonstrate presence dynamics a neuron-to-neuron bystander neuroprotective biochemical cooperation mediated through gap junction channels. Our findings support model which intimate interplay between glutamate buffering, channels, intercellular upholds cell survival promotes initiation regeneration.

Mixed electrical-chemical synapses potentially complicate electrophysiological interpretations of neuronal excitability and connectivity. Here, we disentangle the impact mixed within spinal locomotor circuitry larval zebrafish. We demonstrate that soma size is not linked to input resistance for interneurons, contrary biophysical predictions ‘size principle’ motor neurons. Next, show time constants are faster, excitatory currents stronger, potentials larger in lower neurons, linking synapse density resting excitability. Using a computational model, verify weighted electrical on membrane properties, synaptic integration low-pass filtering distribution coupling potentials. conclude differences can contribute underestimations connectivity overestimations. The contribution inputs helps explain ‘violations’ principle, where neuron size, recruitment order unrelated.
