- W2030017991 abstract "Abstract Spike discharges from the descending contralateral movement detector (DCMD) were recorded extracellularly from the ventral nerve cord of the locust in complete darkness, in response to dim flashes of constant-intensity light, and in response to pairs of identical flashes presented different intervals apart. Three phenomena were discovered: novel long-term sensitization which changes the DCMD's sensitivity to light, a multiplicative cascade process driven by shot events, and the suppression of the spike discharge shortly after a dim flash. The DCMD's spike discharge is stochastic. It can be considered as a two-stage cascade process producing intrinsic multiplicative noise. An effective photon, or thermal isomerization in complete darkness, produces an unseen shot event which in turn initiates a random number of DCMD spikes in a cluster. A shot initiates a variable number of spikes when it directs the rate of a Poisson process. The results of statistical analyses are consistent with this model when the amplitudes of shot events are variable. The transmission efficiency is low because at least 2.4–9.6 quantum bumps are required to produce one extra DCMD spike. The DCMD has a constant mean discharge rate of 0.25–1.5 spikes/s in complete darkness. Clustering about particular points in time (shots) leads to a lack of independence between interspike intervals, and the overdispersion of interspike interval and number distributions compared with those from a simple Poisson process. The mean cluster size is 1.3–1.6 spikes in darkness. Similar clustering was found in response to flashes of light. A dim flash changes the DCMD's sensitivity to light, even at threshold when no spike discharge results. Sensitization occurs because the average number of shot events produced by isoquantal flashes depends on the history of visual stimulation. This contributes to the nonlinear response-intensity function. The evolution of sensitization is roughly constant in different DCMD cells, lasting approximately 3 s after a flash. Sensitization was observed in response to light only, presumably because the intensity of dark-light is too low. It is proposed that sensitization is associated with a set of processes or molecular state in the presynaptic region of a chemical synapse." @default.
