Abstract
In the ventral nerve cord of the isopod Idotea emarginata, FMRFamide-immunoreactive efferent neurons are confined to pereion ganglion 5 where a single pair of these neurons was identified. Each neuron projects an axon into the ipsilateral ventral and dorsal lateral nerves, which run through the entire animal. The immunoreactive axons form numerous varicosities on the ventral flexor and dorsal extensor muscle fibres, and in the pericardial organs. To analyse the neuromuscular effects of a FMRFamide, we used the DRNFLRFamide (DF2). DF2 acted both pre- and postsynaptically. On the presynaptic side, DF2 increased transmitter release from neuromuscular endings. Postsynaptically, DF2 depolarized muscle fibres by approximately 10 mV. This effect was not observed in leg muscles of a crab. The depolarization required Ca2+, was blocked by substituting Ca2+ with Co2+, but not affected by nifedipine or amiloride. In Idotea, DF2 also potentiated evoked extensor muscle contractions. The amplitude of high K+ contractures was increased in a dose dependent manner with an EC50 value of 40 nm. In current-clamped fibres, DF2 strongly potentiated contractions evoked by current pulses exceeding excitation-contraction threshold. In voltage-clamped fibres, the inward current through l-type Ca2+ channels was increased by the peptide. The observed physiological effects together with the localization of FMRFamide-immunoreactive efferent neurons suggest a role for this type of peptidergic modulation for the neuromuscular performance in Idotea. The pre- and postsynaptic effects of DF2 act synergistically and, in vivo, all should increase the efficacy of motor input to muscles resulting in potentiation of contractions.

Abstract
The pericardial organs (POs) are a pair of neurosecretory organs that surround the crustacean heart and release neuromodulators into the hemolymph. In adult crustaceans, the POs are known to contain a wide array of peptide and amine modulators. However, little is known about the modulatory content of POs early in development. We characterize the morphology and modulatory content of pericardial organs in the embryonic lobster, Homarus americanus. The POs are well developed by midway through embryonic (E50) life and contain a wide array of neuromodulatory substances. Immunoreactivities to orcokinin, extended FLRFamide peptides, tyrosine hydroxylase, proctolin, allatostatin, serotonin, Cancer borealis tachykinin-related peptide, cholecystokinin, and crustacean cardioactive peptide are present in the POs by approximately midway through embryonic life. There are two classes of projection patterns to the POs. Immunoreactivities to orcokinin, extended FLRFamide peptides, and tyrosine hydroxylase project solely from the subesophageal ganglion (SEG), whereas the remaining modulators project from the SEG as well as from the thoracic ganglia. Double-labeling experiments with a subset of modulators did not reveal any colocalized peptides in the POs. These results suggest that the POs could be a major source of neuromodulators early in development.

Abstract
Neuropeptides in insects act as neuromodulators in the central and peripheral nervous system and as regulatory hormones released into the circulation. The functional roles of insect neuropeptides encompass regulation of homeostasis, organization of behaviors, initiation and coordination of developmental processes and modulation of neuronal and muscular activity. With the completion of the sequencing of the Drosophila genome we have obtained a fairly good estimate of the total number of genes encoding neuropeptide precursors and thus the total number of neuropeptides in an insect. At present there are 23 identified genes that encode predicted neuropeptides and an additional seven encoding insulin-like peptides in Drosophila. Since the number of G-protein-coupled neuropeptide receptors in Drosophila is estimated to be around 40, the total number of neuropeptide genes in this insect will probably not exceed three dozen. The neuropeptides can be grouped into families, and it is suggested here that related peptides encoded on a Drosophila gene constitute a family and that peptides from related genes (orthologs) in other species belong to the same family. Some peptides are encoded as multiple related isoforms on a precursor and it is possible that many of these isoforms are functionally redundant. The distribution and possible functions of members of the 23 neuropeptide families and the insulin-like peptides are discussed. It is clear that each of the distinct neuropeptides are present in specific small sets of neurons and/or neurosecretory cells and in some cases in cells of the intestine or certain peripheral sites. The distribution patterns vary extensively between types of neuropeptides. Another feature emerging for many insect neuropeptides is that they appear to be multifunctional. One and the same peptide may act both in the CNS and as a circulating hormone and play different functional roles at different central and peripheral targets. A neuropeptide can, for instance, act as a coreleased signal that modulates the action of a classical transmitter and the peptide action depends on the cotransmitter and the specific circuit where it is released. Some peptides, however, may work as molecular switches and trigger specific global responses at a given time. Drosophila, in spite of its small size, is now emerging as a very favorable organism for the studies of neuropeptide function due to the arsenal of molecular genetics methods available.

Abstract
All network dynamics emerge from the complex interaction between the intrinsic membrane properties of network neurons and their synaptic connections. Nervous systems contain numerous amines and neuropeptides that function to both modulate the strength of synaptic connections and the intrinsic properties of network neurons. Consequently network dynamics can be tuned and configured in different ways, as a function of the actions of neuromodulators. General principles of the organization of modulatory systems in nervous systems include: (a) many neurons and networks are multiply modulated, (b) there is extensive convergence and divergence in modulator action, and (c) some modulators may be released extrinsically to the modulated circuit, while others may be released by some of the circuit neurons themselves, and act intrinsically. Some of the computational consequences of these features of modulator action are discussed.

Abstract
How neuronal networks enable animals, humans included, to make coordinated movements is a continuing goal of neuroscience research. The stomatogastric nervous system of decapod crustaceans, which contains a set of distinct but interacting motor circuits, has contributed significantly to the general principles guiding our present understanding of how rhythmic motor circuits operate at the cellular level. This results from a detailed documentation of the circuit dynamics underlying motor pattern generation in this system as well as its modulation by individual transmitters and neurons.

Abstract
The orcokinins are a family of neuropeptides recently isolated from several crustacean species. We found orcokinin-like immunoreactivity in the stomatogastric nervous systems and pericardial organs of three decapod crustacean species, Homarus americanus, Cancer borealis, and Panulirus interruptus. The neuropil of the stomatogastric ganglion was stained in adults of all three species as well as in embryonic and larval H. americanus. In H. americanus, the somata giving rise to this projection were found in the inferior ventricular nerve. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry mass profiling and sequencing with postsource decay led to the identification of six different orcokinin family peptides, including those previously described in other decapods and two novel shorter peptides. Application of exogenous [Ala(13)]orcokinin to the stomatogastric ganglion of H. americanus resulted in changes in the pyloric rhythm. Specifically, the number of lateral pyloric (LP) neuron spikes/burst decreased, and the phase of firing of the pyloric neurons was altered. Together, these data indicate that the orcokinins are likely to function as modulators of the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion.

Abstract
The orcokinins are a highly conserved family of crustacean peptides that enhance hindgut contractions in the crayfish Orconectes limosus (Stangier et al. [1992] Peptides 13:859-864). By combining immunocytochemical and mass spectrometrical analysis of the stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) in the crayfish Cherax destructor, we show that multiple orcokinins are synthesized in single neurons. Immunocytochemistry demonstrated orcokinin-like immunoreactivity in all four ganglia of the STNS and in the pericardial organs, a major neurohaemal organ. Identified neurons in the STNS were stained, including a pair of modulatory interneurons (inferior ventricular nerve neuron, IVN), a neuron with its cell body in the stomatogastric ganglion that innervates cardiac muscle c6 via the anterior median nerves (AM-c6), and a sensory neuron (anterior gastric receptor neuron). Five orcokinin-related peptides were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) post source decay fragmentation in samples of either the stomatogastric ganglion or the pericardial organs. Four of these peptides are identical to peptides derived from the cloned Procambarus clarkii precursor (Yasuda-Kamatani and Yasuda [2000] Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 118:161-172), including the original [Asn(13)]-orcokinin (NFDEIDRSGFGFN, [M+H](+) = 1,517.7 Da), [Val(13)]-orcokinin ([M+H](+) = 1,502.7 Da), [Thr(8)-His(13)]-orcokinin ([M+H](+) = 1,554.8 Da), and FDAFTTGFGHS ([M+H](+) = 1,186.5 Da). The fifth peptide is a hitherto unknown orcokinin variant: [Ala(8)-Ala(13)]-orcokinin ([M+H](+) = 1,458.7 Da). The masses of all five peptides were also detected in the inferior ventricular nerve of C. destructor, which contains the cell bodies and axons of the IVNs as well as the axons of two other orcokinin-like immunoreactive neurons. In the oesophageal nerve, in which all the orcokinin-like immunoreactivity derives from the IVNs, at least two of the orcokinins were detected, indicating that multiple orcokinins are synthesized in these neurons. Similarly, all four orcokinin masses were detected in the anterior median nerves, in which all the orcokinin-like immunoreactivity derives from the AM-c6 neuron. This study therefore lays the groundwork to investigate the function of the orcokinin peptide family using single identified neurons in a well-studied system.

Abstract
In the presence of descending modulatory inputs, the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of the lobster Homarus americanus generates a triphasic motor pattern, the pyloric rhythm. Red pigment-concentrating hormone (RPCH) and Cancer borealis tachykinin-related peptide (CabTRP) are colocalized in a pair of fibers that project into the neuropil of the STG. When the STG was isolated from anterior ganglia modulatory inputs, the lateral pyloric (LP) and pyloric (PY) neurons became silent, whereas the anterior burster (AB) and pyloric dilator (PD) neurons were rhythmically active at a low frequency. Exogenous application of 10(-6) m RPCH activated the LP neuron but not the PY neurons; 10(-6) m CabTRP activated the PY neurons but not the LP neuron. The actions of RPCH on the LP neuron and CabTRP on the PY neurons persisted when the rhythmic drive from the PD and AB neurons was removed, suggesting that the LP and PY neurons are direct targets for RPCH and CabTRP respectively. Coapplication of 10(-6) m RPCH and 10(-6) m CabTRP elicited triphasic motor patterns with phase relationships resembling those in a preparation with modulatory inputs intact. In summary, cotransmitters acting on different network targets act cooperatively to activate a complete central pattern-generating circuit.

Abstract
In recent years, studies of molluscan and crustacean feeding circuits have greatly expanded our knowledge of how the nervous system selects specific behaviors. Increasing use of neurobehavioral studies, and examination of the roles of identified command-like or influential neurons have narrowed the gap between knowledge of circuit connectivity and understanding of the normal behavioral functions of these circuits.

Abstract
The pyloric network of the stomatogastric ganglion of the lobster Panulirus interruptus is a model system used to understand how motor networks change their output to produce a variety of behaviors. The transient potassium current (I(A)) shapes the activity of individual pyloric neurons by affecting their rate of postinhibitory rebound and spike frequency. We used two electrode voltage clamp to study the modulatory effects of dopamine (DA), octopamine (OCT), and serotonin (5-HT) on I(A) in the anterior burster (AB), inferior cardiac (IC), and ventricular dilator (VD) neurons of the pyloric circuit. DA significantly reduced I(A) in the AB and IC neurons and shifted their voltages of activation (V(act)) and inactivation (V(inact)) in a depolarized direction. These ionic changes contribute to the depolarization and increased firing rate of the AB and IC neurons produced by DA. Likewise, 5-HT significantly reduced I(A) and shifted V(inact) in the depolarized direction in the IC neuron, consistent with 5-HT's enhancement of IC firing. None of the amines evoked significant changes in I(A) in the VD neuron, suggesting that other currents mediate the amine effects on this neuron.

Abstract
Central pattern generators are neuronal circuits that when activated can produce rhythmic motor patterns such as walking, breathing, flying, and swimming in the absence of sensory or descending inputs that carry specific timing information. General principles of the organization of these circuits and their control by higher brain centers have come from the study of smaller circuits found in invertebrates. Recent work on vertebrates highlights the importance of neuro-modulatory control pathways in enabling spinal cord and brain stem circuits to generate meaningful motor patterns. Because rhythmic motor patterns are easily quantified and studied, central pattern generators will provide important testing grounds for understanding the effects of numerous genetic mutations on behavior. Moreover, further understanding of the modulation of spinal cord circuitry used in rhythmic behaviors should facilitate the development of new treatments to enhance recovery after spinal cord damage.

Abstract
The electrical characteristics of many neurons are remarkably robust in the face of changing internal and external conditions. At the same time, neurons can be highly sensitive to neuromodulators. We find correlates of this dual robustness and sensitivity in a global analysis of the structure of a conductance-based model neuron. We vary the maximal conductance parameters of the model neuron and, for each set of parameters tested, characterize the activity pattern generated by the cell as silent, tonically firing, or bursting. Within the parameter space of the five maximal conductances of the model, we find directions, representing concerted changes in multiple conductances, along which the basic pattern of neural activity does not change. In other directions, relatively small concurrent changes in a few conductances can induce transitions between these activity patterns. The global structure of the conductance-space maps implies that neuromodulators that alter a sensitive set of conductances will have powerful, and possibly state-dependent, effects. Other modulators that may have no direct impact on the activity of the neuron may nevertheless change the effects of such direct modulators via this state dependence. Some of the results and predictions arising from the model studies are replicated and verified in recordings of stomatogastric ganglion neurons using the dynamic clamp.

Abstract
SUMMARYThe stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) controls the movements of the foregut and the oesophagus of decapod crustaceans and is a good example for demonstrating that peptides are ubiquitously distributed chemical mediators in the nervous system. The stomatogastric ganglion (STG), one of the four ganglia of the STNS, contains the most intensively investigated neuronal circuits. The other ganglia, including the two commissural ganglia (CoGs) and the oesophageal ganglion (OG), are thought to be modulatory control centres. Peptides reach the STNS either as neurohormones or are released as transmitters. Peptide neurohormones can be released either from neurohaemal organs or from local neurohaemal release zones located on the surface of nerves and connectives. There were thought to be no peptidergic neurones with cell bodies in the STG itself. However, some have recently been described in adults of four species, in addition to a transient expression of peptides during development in two species. None of these peptidergic neurones has been investigated physiologically, in contrast to peptidergic neurones that project to the STG and have cell bodies in either the CoGs or the OG. It has been shown that neurones containing the same peptide elicit different motor patterns, that the peptide transmitter and the classical transmitter are not necessarily co-released and that the effect of a peptidergic neurone depends on its firing frequency and on which other modulatory neurones are co-active. The activity of modulatory projection neurones can be elicited by sensory neurones, and their activity can depend on the firing frequency of the sensory neurone. In addition to being found within the neuropile of ganglia, peptides are present in neuropile patches located within the nerves of the STNS, suggesting that these nerves can integrate as well as transfer information. Furthermore, sensory neurones and muscles exhibit peptide-like immunoreactivity and are modulated by peptides. Bath-applied peptides elicit peptide-specific motor patterns within the STG by targeting subsets of neurones. This divergence is contrasted by a convergence at the level of currents: five different peptides modulate a single current. Peptides not only induce motor patterns but can also switch the alliance of neurones from one network to another or are able to fuse different networks. In general, peptides are the most abundant group of modulators within the STNS; they are ubiquitously present, indicating that they play multiple roles in the plasticity of neural networks.

Abstract
Six neuromodulators [proctolin, Cancer borealis tachykinin-related peptide Ia, crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP), red pigment-concentrating hormone, TNRNFLRFamide, and pilocarpine] converge onto the same voltage-dependent inward current in stomatogastric ganglion (STG) neurons of the crab C. borealis. We show here that each of these modulators acts on a distinct subset of pyloric network neurons in the STG. To ask whether the differences in cell targets could account for their differential effects on the pyloric rhythm, we systematically compared the motor patterns produced by proctolin and CCAP. The motor patterns produced in proctolin and CCAP differed quantitatively in a number of ways. Proctolin and CCAP both act on the lateral pyloric neuron and the inferior cardiac neuron. Proctolin additionally acts on the pyloric dilator (PD) neurons, the pyloric (PY) neurons, and the ventricular dilator neuron. Using the dynamic clamp, we introduced an artificial peptide-elicited current into the PD and PY neurons, in the presence of CCAP, and converted the CCAP rhythm into a rhythm that was statistically similar to that seen in proctolin. This suggests that the differences in the network effects of these two modulators can primarily be attributed to the known differential distributions of their receptors onto distinct subsets of neurons, despite the fact that they activate the same current.

Abstract
The stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of adult lobsters and crabs receives dense aminergic and peptidergic projections. The neuropeptides are found in sensory neurons and in descending interneurons that modulate the output of the rhythmic central pattern generating networks in the STG. We describe the presence of these peptidergic projections in the adult Homarus americanus, and the effects of some of these neuropeptides on the motor patterns of the adult STG. We describe the developmental acquisition of these neuropeptides during embryonic and larval times and demonstrate that the immature STG networks are already sensitive to a variety of neuromodulators.
