Figures

Size-independent scaling of time constants and excitation with interneuron input resistance.

(a) Cross-section of spinal cord denoting canonical classes of molecularly defined locomotor-related interneurons. (b) Wiring diagram of swimming circuitry comprised of excitatory interneurons …

Electrical and chemical postsynaptic potentials are differentially scaled to input resistance.

(a) Example of a mixed synaptic connection from a V2a-B neuron on slower (left) and faster (right) time scales. A brief current pulse (pre, gray traces at top left) evoked a mixed synaptic response …

Simulations of convergent electrical and chemical synapses recapitulate experimental results.

(a) Schematic of the simulated network. A simulated interneuron forming chemical synapses (simChemIN, orange) with 10 simulated motor neuron (sim MNs, gray) somata ranging from 1 to 10 µm in …
