GABAergic Excitation of Spider Mechanoreceptors Increases Information Capacity by Increasing Entropy Rather than Decreasing Jitter
2009
Journal of Neuroscience
Preserved Fulltext
We measured action potential firing produced by random mechanical stimulation of spider mechanoreceptor neurons during long-duration excitation by the GABAA agonist muscimol. ...
Information capacity was also estimated from the coherence function between input and output signals. ...
The same responses were also converted to the frequency domain to estimate the coherence function and thus another estimate of information capacity. ...

Frequency response analysis showed that octopamine increased the sensitivity of the trichobothria neurons over a broad frequency range. ...
In addition, octopamine enhances the electrical response of the sensory neurons to mechanical stimulation. Spider peripheral mechanosensilla receive extensive efferent innervation. ...
To learn whether this effect varied with stimulus frequency and whether it also affected the information capacities of these neurons, we performed frequency response analysis from nine experiments in which ...
