Richards, Kathryn S., William L. Miller, and Eve Marder. Maturation of Lobster Stomatogastric Ganglion Rhythmic Activity. J. Neurophysiol. 82: 2006-2009, 1999. The stomatogastric ganglion of the adult lobster, Homarus americanus generates extremely regular pyloric rhythms with a characteristic period of 0.5-1.5 Hz. To study the changes in the pyloric rhythm during embryonic and larval development, we recorded excitatory junctional potentials evoked by lateral pyloric (LP) neuron activity. Early in development the motor discharge of the LP neuron was often irregular, preventing use of conventional analysis methods that rely on extracting burst times to calculate cycle frequency and its variability. Instead, cycle frequency was determined for the LP neuron from the peak of the power spectrum obtained from the occurrence times of excitatory junctional potentials in the p1 muscle. The ratio of the power in the peak to the power from 0 to 3 Hz was used as a relative measure of the regularity of the rhythm. Throughout embryonic and the first larval stage, LP neuron activity is slow, irregular, and only weakly periodic. The regularity of the rhythm increased during midlarval stages, and both the frequency and regularity increased considerably by the postlarval stage LIV.
