Startle escape and swim motor behaviors are socially regulated. (A) Startle behavior in zebrafish is controlled by the M-cell startle escape circuit. The auditory startle escape response is activated when a sound activates hair cells within the ear. Next, the signal is sent from the VIIIth nerve to the M-cell, which activates contralateral fast motor neurons responsible for contraction of flexor muscles that leads to the startle escape response. The swimming motor pattern is controlled by the central pattern generators (CPGs) which repeat along the length of the spinal cord. Each half-center of the CPG is composed of an excitatory interneuron (E), an inhibitory interneuron (I), and a motor neuron (MN). The motor neurons project ipsilaterally to the trunk musculature and induce contraction. (B) Schematic model of endocannabinoid retrograde signaling. The endocannabinoid 2-AG is synthesized post-synaptically in response to neurotransmitter binding. Traditional model suggests that retrograde transmission of 2-AG inhibits further release from both excitatory and inhibitory neurons. DAG lipase synthesizes 2-AG post-synaptically. CB1 receptor binds 2-AG. MAGL degrades 2-AG in presynaptic terminal.
