1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The analysis of synaptic properties in neural networks has focused on the properties of individual synapses. As a result, little is known of how neural assemblies arise from the connectivity and functional properties of different classes of network neurons. I examined synaptic properties in the lamprey locomotor network. Here I show that, in addition to their monosynaptic inputs to motor neurons, a proportion of the excitatory network interneurons (EINs) evoke an activity-dependent disynaptic feedforward inhibitory input. Connections from the excitatory interneurons to small ipsilateral inhibitory interneurons were found that could account for the feedforward inhibition. Both synapses in the disynaptic pathway exhibited activity-dependent facilitation during physiologically relevant spike trains, which could contribute to the delayed, activity-dependent development of the feedforward IPSP. Although it was not as common as the feedforward inhibition, the excitatory interneurons could also evoke feedforward excitatory inputs in motor neurons. EIN inputs to motor neurons usually depress during spike trains. In connections in which a delayed IPSP occurred, blocking the feedforward inhibition in motor neurons or preventing the activation of the disynaptic pathway abolished the depression of the direct EPSP during the spike train and could reveal an underlying facilitation. The feedforward inhibition thus heterosynaptically depressed the direct excitatory input to motor neurons. Activity-dependent heterosynaptic effects acting within network cellular assemblies can thus influence the integration of synaptic inputs in motor neurons. This could help to terminate ipsilateral motor neuron spiking during network activity.
