Phase maintenance in a rhythmic motor pattern during temperature changes in vivo
Open accessAbstract
Central-pattern-generating neural circuits function reliably throughout an animal's life, despite constant molecular turnover and environmental perturbations. Fluctuations in temperature pose a problem to the nervous systems of poikilotherms because their body temperature follows the ambient temperature, thus affecting the temperature-dependent dynamics of various subcellular components that constitute neuronal circuits. In the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system, the pyloric circuit produces a triphasic rhythm comprising the output of the pyloric dilator, lateral pyloric, and pyloric constrictor neurons. In vitro, the phase relationships of these neurons are maintained over a fourfold change in pyloric frequency as temperature increases from 7°C to 23°C. To determine whether these temperature effects are also found in intact crabs, in the presence of sensory feedback and neuromodulator-rich environments, we measured the temperature dependence of the pyloric frequency and phases in vivo by implanting extracellular electrodes into Cancer borealis and Cancer pagurus and shifting tank water temperature from 11°C to 26°C. Pyloric frequency in the intact crab increased significantly with temperature (Q 10 = 2–2.5), while pyloric phases were generally conserved. For a subset of the C. borealis experiments, animals were subsequently dissected and the stomatogastric ganglion subjected to a similar temperature ramp in vitro. We found that the maximal frequency attained at high temperatures in vivo is lower than it is under in vitro conditions. Our results demonstrate that, over a wide temperature range, the phases of the pyloric rhythm in vivo are generally preserved, but that the frequency range is more restricted than it is in vitro.

In initial studies of the effects of temperature on the pyloric rhythm of crabs, the rhythm increased in frequency in a permissive range, but then crashed or lost function at temperatures above 25-28°C.
“In our initial studies of the effects of temperature on the pyloric rhythm of crabs, we found that the rhythm increased in frequency in a permissive range, but then 'crashed' or lost function at temperatures above 25-28 • C [41, 65,66].”

The Results report that pyloric frequency increased as temperature rose from 11°C to 26°C and that motor patterns became more disrupted at higher temperatures. They do not establish that the rhythm generally crashed or lost function above 25–28°C: the experiments reached 26°C, and some animals retained regular bursts while others showed interruptions. The Discussion mentions LP-neuron failure approaching 27°C in prior in vitro work, not a general loss of the rhythm. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
