The paper shows that rectification in electrical synapses allows neurons to switch between rhythmic networks in response to a neuromodulator.

The paper investigates how a dual-network neuron modulates coordination between two neural networks in the crab stomatogastric nervous system through neuropeptide-induced changes in electrical and synaptic coupling.

The paper shows a neuropeptide modulates both intrinsic properties and bidirectional internetwork synapses to recruit and coordinate a neuron between two neural networks.

The paper investigates how a switching neuron interacts with two rhythmic networks, finding that only the second network regulates its activity and that the neuron can independently coordinate the second network.

The paper identifies multiple intrinsic membrane properties modulated during neuronal switching between single and dual-network activity in the Jonah crab STNS.

The paper demonstrates that modulation of intrinsic neuronal properties can enable a neuron to switch between single- and dual-network oscillatory activity, independent of synaptic input.
