Figure 8. Activity of specialized excitatory sensory pathway interneurons in the tadpole. (A) A dlc fires once, following a brief skin stimulus to the same side (▼). It does not fire during subsequent swimming, seen as rhythmic activity at a ventral root and in a cIN recorded simultaneously on the same side. (B) An ecIN does not fire during swimming but is recruited by summating excitation (*) during 40-Hz skin stimulation to fire strongly during struggling. An inhibitory premotor cIN recorded at the same time is also recruited during struggling, but, unlike the ecIN, fires strongly from the start of skin stimulation.
