Abstract
Summary
Feed-forward inhibition is ubiquitous as a motif in the organization of neuronal circuits. During sensory information processing, it is traditionally thought to sharpen the responses and temporal tuning of feed-forward excitation onto principal neurons. As it often exhibits complex time-varying activation properties, feed-forward inhibition could also convey information used by single neurons to implement dendritic computations on sensory stimulus variables. We investigated this possibility in a collision detecting neuron of the locust optic lobe that receives both feed-forward excitation and inhibition. We identified a small population of neurons mediating feed-forward inhibition, with wide visual receptive fields and whose responses depend both on the size and speed of moving stimuli. By studying responses to simulated objects approaching on a collision course, we determined that they jointly encode the angular size of expansion of the stimulus. Feed-forward excitation on the other hand encodes a function of the angular velocity of expansion and the targeted collision detecting neuron combines these two variables non-linearly in its firing output. Thus, feed-forward inhibition actively contributes to the detailed firing rate time course of this collision detecting neuron, a feature critical to the appropriate execution of escape behaviors. These results suggest that feed-forward inhibition could similarly convey time-varying stimulus information in other neuronal circuits.| Reference Key |
