Neuromodulator-induced temperature robustness in a motor pattern: a comparative study between two decapod crustaceans
Bibliographic record
Abstract
While temperature fluctuations pose significant challenges to the nervous system, many vital neuronal systems in poikilothermic animals function over a broad temperature range. Using the gastric mill pattern generator in the Jonah crab, we previously demonstrated that temperature-induced increases in leak conductance disrupt neuronal function and that neuropeptide modulation provides thermal protection. Here, we show that neuropeptide modulation also increases temperature robustness in Dungeness and green crabs. As in Jonah crabs, higher temperatures increased leak conductance in both species' pattern-generating lateral gastric neuron and terminated rhythmic gastric mill activity. Likewise, increasing descending modulatory projection neuron activity or neuropeptide transmitter application rescued rhythms at elevated temperatures. However, decreasing input resistance using dynamic clamp only restored the rhythm in half of the experiments. Thus, neuropeptide modulation increased temperature robustness in both species, demonstrating that neuropeptide-mediated temperature compensation is not limited to one species, although the underlying cellular compensation mechanisms may be distinct.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
